Muchacha can have several meanings and uses none derrogatory though. - pacofinkler, Jul 14, 2011

I think Paco is right because it´s very common to refer to female domestic helpers in Mexico as "Muchacha" (girl), but only if they are young. So I wouldn´t say it means "slave," but something closer to "servant girl."

Servant girl would be " sirvienta" isn´t it? - pacofinkler, Jul 14, 2011
Of course, but in colloquial speech, "Muchacha" is commonly used - 005faa61, Jul 14, 2011
