As long as people definite themselves as such, they exist.

May be stupid (just like an American styling himself as "part-native American") because his greatgreatgreatgrandpappy had his way with an Indian) but people are free to call themselves whatever.

I didn't know what it meant until a few days ago and I certainly don't think it should be a phrase.

Would Arabs in Dearborn, for example, count as white ethnics?

Of course yes.

Dan Lipinski's district is very Polish-American if I recall correctly. So that's one "white ethnic" district.

Per Wiki, it's less than 1/7 Polish. There're substantially more Hispanics , and even more Irish-Americans in the district.

More to the point, Polish American voters won't vote even close to a block, but rather based on other salient factors as income, frequency of church attendance , age, etc., just like other white Catholic voters .

Huh, I was under the impression it was more Polish than that, and didn't check, my mistake.

From what I understand though, Lipiniski's district is pretty socially conservative while still being strongly Democratic, which is a feature of "white ethnic" districts, right? That's what I was trying say, I think.

Yes Zioneer, you are correct.  There is also an even larger ethnic Irish presence in the district that is a powerful voting block.  The main requirement for getting elected to office in southwest cook county is having an Irish or Polish last name.  Combined with the big muslim and hispanic population makes this a pretty culturally conservative district.
