Skin head = Neo Nazi?

[Conal]

Okay, so I shaved my head & told some guy on second life. Apparently shaving your head makes you an ultra-far right wing nationalist who hates anything that isn't white & American. In England it just means your hair is so short that you're almost bald.

Discuss.

In Britain, we had a skinhead subculture that was big in the 60's and was then revived around the 80's with a more punk influence. Traditional skinheads were far from being neo-nazi. The 80's skinheads were not all neo-nazi either. I myself, follow the skinhead subculture to an extent, more specifically the Oi! skinhead style, which has more of a punk feel to it.

There are skinheads with racist beliefs and there are skinhead groups who are completely against racism, such as SHARP (Skinheads Against Racial Prejudice).

The wikipedia article on skinheads explains a lot of this, including the racial issues that has the skinhead culture divided:

well maybe this second life guy has spent so long in second life that his "real" life is now non-existent and he hasn't been outside for ages.
I think that it doesn't matter how you wear your hair (or lack of it) the people who stereotype belong amongst the rest.
