Yup. I actually started labeling myself as Swedish (despite being born a Mc) when I started recognizing distinct cultural distinctions between myself and non-Scandanavian whites around me. I was so stereotypically Swedish-American that it would have been ridiculous not to. But that's a hugely different thing than having outsiders note a trait and then jump to "you must do these other things, too".
