The same also works for Latinos - as far as I can remember. I used to teach at a community college in CA and heard some horror stories from Latina women how their families and friends discouraged their education. They tend to be staunchly Catholic and anti-abortion and anti-gay. If memory serves, Labor Party refused to take a position on abortion to avoid pissing off catholic sentiments of Latino supporters.

Poles are in the same category.
