From what I know, the term ‘working class’ usually means the same thing as blue collar. In other words, a job that is more physical and involves manual labor is considered a working class job. The people who do these jobs are, more or less, doing the harder physical-type jobs that a lot of ‘high society’ people don’t want to do. Usually these people aren’t very much appreciated for doing these jobs and don’t get paid as well as they should (considering the types of jobs they do, the lack of fair treatment by employers and the conditions they have to do these jobs in), so they live paycheck to paycheck. It is true that some skinheads are racist and some are not. In America, usually the non-racist skinheads call themselves ‘s.h.a.r.p.s.’ (or ‘sharps’ for short) which stands for “skin heads against racial prejudice.” Usually they just love punk and ska, which is something like punk and reggae combined and is not intended to identify with the neo-Nazi skinheads in any way. At least that is my understanding from when I asked the same question to the few I have met. Another interesting note is how the constant association of neo-Nazi skinheads and punk rock in America by news reporters and talk show hosts also makes a lot of people think punk rock is about racism, which it is not for the most part. Just like any other group of people that share common interests, their are many opposing opinions and beliefs held among punk rock fans as well.

If you still wonder if the guy is a racist, ask him more questions. You might find that he is just an average everyday person.
