Racist skinheads are individuals who identify with a subculture characterized by a distinct style, including shaved heads, heavy boots, and tattoos. This group emerged in the late 1960s in the United Kingdom, originally as a working-class youth movement. However, some factions adopted racist ideologies, promoting white supremacy and anti-immigrant sentiments. These racist skinheads often align with extremist groups and engage in hate crimes, using violence and intimidation against marginalized communities. Their beliefs are rooted in a distorted sense of nationalism and a desire to preserve what they perceive as cultural purity. Organizations like the National Alliance and Aryan Brotherhood have been associated with this movement.
