It's a reference to the term 'guinea' which is a US derogatory term for Italians.
Came from "Guinea Negro" and originally referred to any Black or any person of mixed ancestry. This dates back to the 1740s. By the 1890s it was being applied to Italians-almost certainly because they tend to have darker skin than Anglo-Saxons/Germans.
