Where is my White Boy Caucus?

I can't join the Black Caucus nor the Hispanic Caucus?

Actually, there was a very interesting issue with this in Chicago a few years ago. A older white candidate surprised everyone by winning election in a overwhelmingly majority black ward in Chicago. He then presented himself at the City Council's Black Caucus for membership. There was quite a row as to whether he should be allowed to join. They originally denied him membership. He then went public and asked what the purpose of the Black Caucus was. Was it to advance the interests of black constituents? If so, he represented more of them than some of the then-current members. If not, then what was it's purpose; to be a private club for black aldermen? He eventually was granted membership.
