Why is the word "Guinea" so offensive to Italian-Americans?
I am curious about why the word "Guinea" is considered offensive to Italian-Americans. Can you tell me more about that?
Sure. "Guinea" is a derogatory term used to refer to Italians and Italian-Americans. It originated as a way to describe people from Guinea in West Africa, and was later used to stereotype Italians as uneducated and uncivilized. This term can be quite offensive to many Italian-Americans.
