I'm not going to discuss this fully, because in my opinion it borders on political discussion, but I will say this...

Polished boots, Ben Sherman or Fred Perry shirt, pants that fit, likes reggae and/or ska= not racist

Scuffed boots or "skate" shoes with red laced, head completely bald, baggy pants, likes hardcore or metal= probably racist.

Another important distinction to make (and an attempt to get this thread back on topic) is that a racist skin probably wouldn't be caught dead in a kilt!
