As Elvis mentioned the racist Skinhead movements are basically anti-immigration and the biggest group coming in the country are Asian (well not counting the Brits back in Colonial times :-)
The same goes in England. During the Hard core rights haydays, though they did hate Blacks their main target were thought from Pakistan (as well as India and Bangladesh). I think this has shifted alittle in modenr times to include Muslims too.
Ironically, I come from a Country that claimed to have absolutley no racism at all. Strangely enough this coincided with the fact we had almost no immigration either. The Irish are actually better know as immigrants themselves. But all these changed when Ireland economy boomed (back in the olden days..lol) and we actually got people with skin darker than out bluish-white complication back looking for jobs in our country. The tune certainly changed and the racism came out of the woodwork.
Despite all this a neo-nazi skinhead scene never really got of the ground - this was mostly due to a very healthy, hardcore AFA encouraging skins that they gigs would be better cancelled and that Skrewdriver tshirts aren't a good fashion choice. There does seem to be a small but dedicated Trad Skin head scene though. Myself as well as many others here believe in a 'No Platform for Fascists'
EDL might say they are 'not racist' but I bet those buys still share pints and views with members of the BNP, NF and COmbat18.
