"white" is a race. this is where "looks" come in. obama belongs to the black race because he looks like a negro.
the white american ethnicity is not a race, it is an ethnicity. other white ethnicities include german, dutch, swedish, etc. they all fall under the white race umbrella.
similarly, chinese, korean, jap, etc. all fall under the oriental race because they all look basically the same.

GPT says no:
Genetic-ancestry studies tell a different story. One widely cited national sample estimated average ancestry at roughly 65% European, 31% Indigenous American, and 4% African. Those are average DNA components across a study sample—not percentages of people who are socially “white,” “mestizo,” Indigenous, or Black—and they vary sharply by region, with higher Indigenous ancestry on average in the northwest and parts of Patagonia.
So the popular claim that Argentina is “97% white” is an old, coarse demographic shorthand, not a modern census result, and it collapses European-identifying, mixed-ancestry, Indigenous, and Afro-descendant realities into an unreliable single label.

Not all of them but I think roughly half of them are. idk the figure off the top of my head.
GPT is saying roughly 58% of US Americans identify as "white" on the census and that out of that the inferred ancestry from 23 and me data is about 98.6% white/european
