WK and I chatted about this very briefly last night... this might be a product of my age (relatively young) and my geographical location (US), but it was never a matter of 'labelling' for me... I always assumed that skinhead as a concept referred directly to white power and racism. I was never exposed to it as a broader social movement containing various political (and apolitical) streams, and I thought that anyone identifying as a skinhead was willingly identifying as racist - and that therefore there was no problem in calling a spade a spade.
guccilvr: can one really be identified as a skinhead purely on the basis of one's hair?
