What does this word Garbacho mean? and why do the mexican people use it to describe white people?
and how come I can't find any translations or definitions for it on-line?
The word is "gavacho" and it's slang for Anglo American, as is the term "huero" (male) and "huera" (female). It's the Spanish equivalent of "honky, cracker, peckerwood" etc, and has no direct translation any more than these terms favored by our noble African-American brothers and sisters.
It's just another term like the more popular (and therefore found in dictionaries) "gringo" which is "Used as a disparaging term for a foreigner in Latin America, especially an American or English person."
Living in Los Angeles for six years was quite an education in the finer points of minority racism.

Refers to someone who comes from the French Basque country and were seen as "other" by the Spaniards when they arrived in Spain in the middle ages. So, as the language evolved, and the Spaniards wished to speak disparagingly of a foreigner, they might call him a Gavacho. When the indigenous people of Mexico were learning Spanish, and heard the word, they incorporated it into the language too. Though the true etymology of the word refers to a person of French heritage from the Basque region it is now commonly used to refer to any and all Anglo-Americans.
Santa Fe is being ruined by all the anglos moving in with their gavacho ways.
