Wikipedia
Angry White Male (sometimes abbreviated as AWM) is the designation of a voting bloc of white males in the United States that came into use during and after the midterm elections of 1994 in which white males supported Republican candidates by a 24 % margin (compared to a 6 % margin in 1986 and a 4 % margin in 1990).
Demographic characteristics of the group include males of predominantly working class or lower middle class status, who are 'angered' by:
- policies or actions in government, business, media, education, and other institutions that specifically support non-whites, women, gays, and other minorities - which they see as discrimination against white males and is sometimes referred to as "reverse discrimination";
- movements such as environmentalism which they deem as inimical to their economic interests; and/or
- the actual or believed cultural condescension of affluent "limousine liberals".
