Answer 1

Chumba; Is a derogatory Spanish word(mostly used in Central America) for a black person who speaks Spanish. Basically the "N" word in Spanish.

Thanks for clearing that up. It's good to know words 'not' to use. - katydew, OCT 20, 2012

Answer 2

Welcome to the forum sweetp70. I do not know the answer to that but I'm sure someone will come along with it. I'm curious myself. Oh, by the way, please use capitals and punctuation when making posts here. It is a learning site and we don't want to confuse anyone who is trying to learn our language.

Answer 3

There is a definition for chumba in the Urban Dictionary, but let's hope that it doesn't apply here and it certainly isn't anything to be posting on this site.

Answer 4

I was watching a famous Mexican television show, and one of the characters called the other "chusma." I mistook it for "chumba." Could that be the word they're using?
