There's RASH and SHARPs, too, though.
Edit: the wiki article title for RASH is a slur that I missed. RASH stands for red and anarchist skinheads, tho.
Ohhhh, interesting. Didn't realize people voluntarily identify as skinheads when they're not racist. Thought it was an explicitly derogatory term for them.
Within the community (I used to hang out with non-racist skinheads when I was a teenager), they're referred to as "boneheads", as opposed to the "original" kind of skinhead, who claim to be descendants of the multi-racial (mostly black and white, many of these people were still shit towards south Asian immigrants) working-class communities in the UK who gave birth to skinheads back in the 60s.
Neat. I have a little more respect for skinheads, apologies for generalizing
No worries, that's what the whole thread is about, anyway!
