Grandma’s parents were Rusyns, one of those groups like the Catalans, Basque, or the Kurds that is stateless. It’s complicated by the fact some nations where they live such as Slovakia where Grandma’s parents and my family still there lives acknowledges their status as a separate ethnic group while Ukraine sees them as fellow Ukrainians. Not sure about Poland. Anyhow that sort of gives me an appreciation for the rights of small nations and stateless peoples.
