redface
Shame shown physically
Redface refers to the theatrical or costume practice of non-Native performers portraying Indigenous Americans through stereotyped makeup, wigs, and mannerisms—analogous to blackface for African Americans.
The term critiques such portrayals as offensive caricature: The old Western films are full of redface performances by white actors.
Also describes the embarrassed flush of someone caught out or humiliated.
