The "angry white male" or "angry white man" is a stereotype of white men holding conservative or right-wing views in the context of U.S. and Australian politics, often characterized by opposition to progressive social policies and liberal beliefs. The term is usually applied to white men from the United States and Australia.^[1] In the United States, the greatest perceived threat to white male dominance has been advances of white women and people of color following the women's liberation movement and Civil Rights movement of the 1960s and 1970s, in addition to immigration, multiculturalism and LGBT rights.^[2]
