Where is your ancestry?

No, I mean East Asian. Slavic people have been thought to come from the Urals (I'm not sure of this, this is just a hypothesis), and that some Asian blood does remain in there (especially with those who have darker hair, which is what my great-grandfather had). Also, keep in mind the Magyars (hungarians) were a Uralic group till about a thousand years ago before settling in Hungary, so there could be similarities with the Sami, Finnish, or maybe even central Asians. Finally, the Mongol invasions could've also had influences on the Eastern European populations as well, which is why I do hypothesize that I do have a bit of East Asian blood, though probably not very much.

Wouldn't that be central/north Asian rather than east? I mean, I dunno about you but I think of east Asian as Chinese/Korean/Japanese, but not really Kazakhstani or whatever

Besides, I thought there was an Indian origin for slavic (and all other caucasian) peoples, due to the fact they are called Indo-Aryan races?

Edit: The Mongol thing makes sense though. I remember hearing that a relatively high percentage of people have at least some Mongolian DNA.

Northern Asians are a mix of Caucasian and East Asian ancestry. As you move farther away from Europe into Asia, the people (I mean the ancestrial ethnic group that lives there, not just a bunch of Russians who settled there) start to look more East Asian, and as you progress this becomes more evident. This is the case for uralic ethnic groups, though of course varies wildly between ethnic groups.
