skinheads
Bald racist thugs
Skinheads are members of a youth subculture originating in 1960s Britain, characterized by shaved heads, working-class identity, and heavy boots.
The movement began among multiracial groups drawn to ska and reggae music, but by the 1980s the term became associated with white supremacist and neo-Nazi gangs: Neo-Nazi skinheads attacked immigrants outside the train station.
Some skinheads reject racist ideology entirely.
