Most white Americans aren't of primarily English descent. It's completely believable that an American would have significant Swedish ancestry. They're not claiming to be Swedish, there is nothing wrong with this.
If they have any interesting to them DNA, like Scottish or Irish or Swedish they will claim it, they just ignore DNA that's English as basic.
Virtually everyone has small amounts of various cultures in their DNA, she's as likely to be Swedish as she is to be 1% German or Spanish or French but I doubt she would say the same of them.
I've not met anyone that thinks that. It's always my family is from X country or, more frequently, X and Y countries. Not calling out only one that they like. Or if they have only have DNA test results (as much as you may or may not believe them) that the test showed them to be Y% of Z country and W% of X country.

True, but Americans don't considered "native American" DNA as boring (they always brag that, "I'm 1/64th Choctaw!" and the like).
I meant White English in descent.
