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.
The NY Times reported that conservative commentator Erik Erickson posted on social media that “an AWFUL (Affluent White Female Urban Liberal) is dead after running her car into an ICE agent who opened fire on her.” Orlando radio host Pierce Outlaw called such women “the scourge of polite society.”
The paper leaned on academics to explain conservative criticism of affluent white liberal women. Rutgers political scientist Dr. Shauna Shames told the NY Times the term stems from anxieties about race, gender and immigration among Trump’s base.
The NY Times recently published opinion columns comparing ICE to a “secret police” and accusing the agency of waging war on Democratic cities.
Good had joined ICE Watch, a network of activists who track and disrupt immigration enforcement, the Daily Signal reported. The group promotes “de-arrest” tactics that instruct activists to physically free people from law enforcement custody. Training materials describe each de-arrest as a “micro-intifada.”
College-educated white women backed Harris by a 17-point margin, up from Biden’s nine-point margin in 2020, according to the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University.

It is right up there with Karen.
Lots of AWFULs at the NYT.
awwwwwwwwwwww aint that a pity..perhaps they should look in the mirror and hear all the disgusting names MAGA has been called since 2015
I know they have more money than sense. That’s not a high hurdle. But how do they become affluent?
If the shoe fits...
“...and then he said, “If the foo shits wear it.””
What a bunch of crybabies.
I thought I was the only one.
“anxieties about race, gender and immigration among Trump’s base.”
No...anxieties about rape, murder, burglary, drugs, etc you morons.
Remember Gavin Newsom may be our next President of the United States of America.
THE u is not for Urban, it’s for UGLY. Affluent White Female Ugly Liberal. Get it right NYT.
I call them Asinine White Female Unhinged Left-wingers.
Like every other libtard.
The New York Times is way behind on this one.
Unless we do our part and vote this year, and 2028 as well.
Affluent White Female Unmarried Liberal is the other version.
Don’t worry NYT, the ADL and the SPLC will get right on it. People who use it will be called, yeah, Nazis or something.
We have work to do. And it won't be easy.
Advantage: Democrats
Wow, were they this upset about everybody calling everybody else and their dog a Nazi for no apparent reason?
