Angry White Male (sometimes abbreviated as AWM) is the designation of a voting bloc of white males in the United States, predominantly of working class or lower middle class status, who are angered by actual or perceived favoritism towards non-whites, women, gays, and other minorities in government, business, media, education, and other institutions, as well as by movements such as environmentalism which they deem as inimical to their economic interests and by what they regard as the cultural condescension of affluent "limousine liberals".
