guinea

The Irish-American word for Italian.

Refrencing the belief that Southern Italians recieved darker genes from the Moore colinization of Sicily, and the similar appearence to people from the Guinea coast of Africa.

It is often interpreted as being called part-nigger and non-white and is usually taken very offensively.

Mick: I hate those Tanglewood guineas. They think they run yonkers. The Westies are comin' motherfuckers!
Guido: Yeah right, paddy!
