“Guinea” I figure I can type it even thought it’s like no word bad in Italian from what I understand. They kept using it in the godfather book, AI really thought it was just a simple term of affection between bros.

From reading it’s talking about Italians with dark skin to say they aren’t white.

Neat, I have expanded my vocabulary thanks to your efforts.

    late 70s-early 80s, growing up in central chicago as a kid - we had a catalog of slurs that everyone used up and down the street, dago, wop, guinea, polock, dink, etc., but none of us ever called a black person a negro or worse. I didn’t hear that shit frequently until I moved to Alabama, Georgia and Louisiana. It’s wild how times and values change.
