This is a tricky subject. There is no one translation for 'white man' in Cherokee, the closest translation (in english) is a negative of "the real people" or "not, the real people."

All translations for white men or white man (both male and female) are negative connotations of the same basic theme of: dishonorable, liar, thief, not real people / humans, cannot be trusted etc.

The slang term for modern day Cherokee Indians for a white person is Yo-ne-ga(Yo-Negg). This is also the word for white, have fun being racist!
