There was a dude that rocked the shaved head punk look at my local park, wasn't a skinhead or whatever. Cool dude, always generous and chill, but to be honest, I was always real sketched out to be seen with him, because he looked like a racist skinhead. Within the context of our larger cultural understanding of that look (think American History X or HBO's Skinheads USA: Soldiers of the Race War), regardless of his beliefs, Ben's look communicates racism. It's a fucking fact, otherwise there wouldn't be this thread. If it's debatably racist, then enough people believe its a racist look, Therefore the look unequivocally communicates such negative sentiments.
