No, they should just eliminate the others.

Yes. No double standards. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. Or better yet, do away with all race based caucuses. We can never be united when we keep dividing ourselves.

Don't need anymore groups of swamp creatures like the CBC who endorsed BLM, their lies and violence.


Probably some funding or grants that these groups take advantage of.


Does the guy who thought guam would tip over if too may marines landed on one end, still in the CBC?

I didn't respond to your poll because the Republican party is almost all white and European already.

A popular toast that I've heard from Republicans: This is to wives and girlfriends with the hope that they never meet.

Good point.


The Republican party already constitutes a congressional white caucus in both chambers.

The Freedom Caucus essentially performs this role. Maybe you could ask them to change their name to the Aryan Caucus or something like that.

There are many caucuses in congress, and on balance, I think they're a good thing, because they encourage at least some bipartisanship.

Whatever. Congress critters can form whatever caucuses they please, for whatever reason they please. It's not up to me or anyone else outside of congress to mandate which caucuses exist.

Didn't vote, BTW, because I think it's a silly thing to vote on.

I say no, because I find the idea laughable.

My parents moved here from Italy. White Americans are not "European". Culturally, socially, politically... By any meaningful measure, white people are not "European".

They're just American, even if many of them can trace their ancestry to some European nation or other.

After so many generations... You are something different, and it isn't European.
