A Republican candidate in Maine says he’s sorry for calling a Parkland student a "skinhead lesbian"http://nym.ag/2GqqNQZ
Though she identifies as bisexual. And skinhead is complicated at least in the US definition since the second definition basically means white supremacist. Though hard to tell what this Republican NRA lobbyist politician's WTF insult was about...

Have not heard that definition before. Skinhead subculture originated in Britain in the 1960s as a celebration of working class culture. They actually adopted a lot of black music/fashion because of the influence of Jamaican populations in their local communities.

yes, but in the 80s and early 90s, a big part of that aesthetic was adopted by neonazis

Ah, ok Dorothy, didn't know that about skinhead. I didn't so much mean that she should identify as lesbian, but more that it was annoying *that* was seen as the insult to apologise for, not the rest! Her haircut is fabulous and even if it weren't, it would be entirely her choice!
