Native Americans were called "redskins" due to the reddish color of their skin. Now it is to be considered a racist term.

Native Americans were called redskins originally because the blood that ran down their brown bodies after being murdered was such a prevalent sight that the ones killing them coined the violence provoking term “redskins”. People were paid by how many “redskins” aka blood soaked bodies they brought in.
