A Native American or Aboriginal person who, although looks Native on the outside, is considered a white person on the inside. Red on the outside, white on the inside. Can be used in a number of contexts:
1. It is sometimes used to express
insecure envy towards anyone in a Native community who attains any measure of success.
2. It sometimes means the person is ashamed of being Native, lacks involvement with the community, or has
lost touch with the culture.
3. It is also sometimes used to express contempt towards somebody who is perceived as selling out. e.g. Would help
non-Native business screw over Native people if there was enough
money involved.
Joe: He doesn't hang out with
us anymore. It's like he's ashamed of us now.
Jim: Yeah, he's become a red
apple.
