I'm mixed Slav. My ancestors lived in Mazovia, Poland, Grodno Region, Belarus, Poltava, Kherson, Chernihiv in Ukraine. St Pete and Moscow in Russia. Some other places as well but those are primary. I learned a lot about my origins these past four or five months. I think if you go back and like at the entire picture they were Pomeranians. I had an ancestor in Stettin who was a soldier of the Third Reich. I am in process of getting his records from Germany.

Well, not you, your grandparent was Polish American basically. Polish is the most common Slavic/Eastern European ancestry in the United States. You can only be described as white, maybe Catholic but nonetheless too mixed to fit nto one ethnic box. America has its own culture and history anyway.

I disagree. A typical European doesn't have grandparents from 3-4 different countries like you do. You are literally a mix of West, East and South. Nothing wrong with that, White American identity exists for people like you, not for a Bavarian, Basque, Kashubian or a Welshman.
