I have several Mexican coworkers who tell me "Charito" is slang for someone or something that has been burned or blackened, like on a BBQ grill....if i person is called Charito they may have dark skin or be African. It is a decrptive and endearing term, not meant as an insult, much like Guero is used to denote someone with very light skin..
