They aren't. A racist skinhead shares almost NO ideals with real skinheads. The actual skinhead scene started as a mix between the English mod scene and the rudeboy style brought to the UK by Jamaican immigrants in the '60s. The first skinhead music was ska and reggae. But skins had a reputation for being brawlers, and so, in the late 70s and early 80s, the National Front (a racist, nationalist English political group) began encouraging their followers to adopt skinhead styles. The media picked up on these boneheads and that's where the image of a racist skinhead came from.
We fear what we hate. We fear what we also do not understand.
Hate crimes are usually related to both fear of the unknown and pure ignorance.
What they fear
Nick Knight is the author of Skinhead
Fear and hate of anything Islamic.
In the mighty words of Yoda: "fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate.. leads to suffering".
It probably means to beat someone down, perhaps in a group. It could be a reference to the skinhead "boot party," since skinhead culture and punk culture share a lot in common.
People often fear or hate things that they do not understand.
