Blanca in slang has several meanings depending on country and context, beyond its standard Spanish meaning of white or fair as feminine form of white. In standard Spanish, blanca means white, fair-skinned, or pure, feminine form of blanco. In Mexican slang, blanca can refer to cocaine because of its white color, similar to how white is used in English drug slang, though this usage is not extremely common and is more coded. In some Latin American countries, la blanca can mean the white one, referring to a white woman or a white car. In Puerto Rican slang, blanca can mean a white woman or a fair-skinned woman. In some contexts, blanca can mean heroin as well due to white color, though again this is drug slang. In everyday slang, blanca is not as common as other terms, and most people use it in its standard meaning of white or fair. For example, in Mexican Spanish, güera is more common slang for a blonde or white woman than blanca. In some Caribbean countries, blanca can be used affectionately for a girlfriend. It is important to note that slang varies greatly by region, and blanca as drug slang should be avoided. In most everyday Spanish, blanca simply means white or fair, as in camisa blanca meaning white shirt, or a female name meaning white or pure. So blanca in slang can mean white powder drugs in some contexts, but standard meaning is white or fair female.
