I mean traditional skinheads, the ones who are not racist and accept all races as skins. I don't mean nazi boneheads

One of the biggest misconceptions is that all skinheads are racist. They're not. In fact, there are skinhead groups that are anti-racist.
Their politics pretty much run the gamut:

Skinheads were born in an era of high employment and low career expectations as a result of idiot fiscal policies and liberal educational philosophies.
Unemployed in the UK and its 'free everything' just about, except that life gets a bit pointless. Two generations of unemployed people and you produce a generation of demotivated, disenfranchised people.
They are the result of abysmal social failure on the part of those that thought the unemployed could create work and money from nothing. Instead they took away the reason to work and created a generation that expected to be fed for doing nothing.
I wouldn't try discussing this with any skinhead though. With a vocabulary of around 100 words you might not find it stimulating. You ARE very likely to get a free holiday in one of the UK's wonderful (sic) hospitals. (They say a cracked skull, broken nose and black eyes heal quite quickly)
Skinheads have been all but replaced by what is now known as 'chav' culture. Put the word in Google....it beggers belief.

Hating anyone that's not white protestant? But I wouldn't like to use the term skinhead. Just because your head is shaved doesn't mean you're a neo-nazi. I know that's not what you're saying but some people take things the wrong way.

depends on which sect your talking about,,,
Aryans(strictly white only)
American nationals(race is not an issue when becoming a member, its more sociopolitical, working class, blue collar)
British sharks(exclusively BLACK or of African decent)
that being the case, You will have to be more specific and not just generalize the term "skin head"
