I can recall a few cases where white people were attacked by various vibrants for being bald, because the VVs assumed their victims were skinheads. As always, the attackers never went one on one; it's always at least three against one. Some of those white men (I am not aware of any female victims) were receiving chemo, a few had shaved their heads in sympathy for someone else on chemo or for charity...Most of the cases I can recall were back in the 1990s-early 00s, when 'skinheads' seemed to be more prominent as a "media panic" thing, and there weren't many cases (but who knows how many never got reposted to websites I frequent, or any media coverage whatsoever?) but basically, if you're white and young , appearing while bald in public might get you jumped.
