Ethnically and culturally, yes, as long as you're in touch and loyal to your specific background. But when it comes time to simply be "white" and identify as such, you and the Iceland-American will potentially have a great deal in common.
So what you're saying isn't in constrast to what I said so I will remember not to repeat myself.
