Mapache is the Spanish term for racoon. The word mapache comes from the Aztec word for thief or stealing (mapachoa). Sometimes it is used to address someone who is not trustworthy.
In northern Mexico, mostly in Hermosillo and Chihuahua, it is also used as a derogatory term for black people. This is very racist... don't do it. The rest of Mexico and Latin America never uses the term that way.
