I don't think people really associate any particular white ethnic group with Philly, or at least it's not as plainly obvious as it is with NYC and Boston. Irish is far and away the most predominant ethnic group in Boston, and NYC as an Italian/Jewish city is so rooted in the public consciousness to the point where it's become caricature (see Fran Drescher in "The Nanny"). With Philly, there aren't any mainstream caricatures or stereotypes that create the cultural perception that it's X type of city. And the most famous white people that hail from the Delaware Valley -- Joe Biden, Bruce Willis, Kevin Bacon, Bradley Cooper, Tina Fey, Ryan Phillippe, Seth Green, Mike Trout, Carli Lloyd, Chris Matthews, Jake Tapper -- are largely mutts.
