NY Times Not Too Happy Over New Acronym For Liberal White Women
A new acronym for liberal white women is gaining traction online, and the New York Times does not appear to be happy about it.
The paper published a lengthy piece Friday about the acronym AWFUL, which stands for Affluent White Female Urban Liberal. Conservative commentators have used the term to describe liberal women protesting immigration enforcement in Minneapolis following the fatal shooting of activist Renee Good by an ICE agent on January 7.
The NY Times even contacted the Department of Homeland Security about its growing popularity.
DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin was unmoved. “I’m more concerned with facts on the ground than I am about acronyms,” McLaughlin told the paper.
