paleface
European to natives
Paleface is a word attributed to Native Americans for white people, referring to their lighter skin.
The term appears mainly in old Westerns and frontier fiction, where it signals stereotyped "Indian talk": The paleface speaks with forked tongue.
Outside historical or ironic contexts, the word sounds dated and cartoonish.
