Answer 1

• Combat 18- in group
• Vikings- reference group
• Non-white- out-group

Step-by-step explanation:

Skinhead is the term used to describe a social group that was formed for the same purpose. In the mid-1960s, these groups were formed to represent members of subcultures, however, this term is currently used to refer to Nazi and neo-Nazi groups that exploit the concepts of white supremacy, among others.

These groups have names (in-group) that represent the ideology they defend, have a reference group, which justifies the concept of superiority and has a group of people who are against and who are the target of their actions (out-group).
