Guinea is a highly offensive ethnic slur for someone of Italian descent in the United States.
It derives from "Guinea *****", which came from the popular belief that Italians were part African because of their often darker skin, and possibly from the belief that the Moors once dominated parts of Italy.
As a word, it is sometimes considered as offensive to Italian Americans as ****** is to African Americans. Is used in conjunction with other deragatory terms such as Dago, Wop, Greaseball, and Goombah.
