Senator Jack said:The prime example of 'term confusion' is, of course, Skinhead.
Though in origin, the group was apolitical, and in the 70s was composed of both blacks and whites, the term now, to the general public, evinces the complete opposite.
That is not so much term confusion as a cultural shift of those choosing to look like/be skinheads. Granted, the term encompasses many different types, but the one that got noticed was the racist. But it is not a mistake to refer to those racist nazis as skin heads. they are.
