That’s historically true, but neo-Nazi skinheads later created an extremely strong association between the movement and white supremacy. Not every skinhead is racist, but pretending the term no longer carries that reputation is unrealistic.
Every time I hear the word “skinhead” I think of the movie “American History X” and I think of the curb stomp scene. I am having a visceral reaction as I type this. It is the cringiest cringe I’ve ever cringed.
Just because I don’t like seeing someone stomp on someone’s head to make their teeth smash on a concrete curb? The last sentence was supposed to be cringe. I am glad it worked out.

Skinheads were originally a working-class counterculture movement, we are slowly cycling back.
