So apparently people have been having an issue with the new Mafia 3.

The word originated in Sicily and is almost always used to describe italian or italian-american crime syndicate when used alone. There can be other crime organisations with different ethnical backgrounds, but strictly and traditionally speaking, Mafia is italian 

There are Mexican mafia, Russian mafia, etc...

Mafia comes from a word that doesn't even relate to crime. You guys should stop this non sense already.

Americans in the 70's and 80's weren't even calling gangsters (any ethnicity) Mafias but the Mob.

Mafia is always associated with the italian mob in america. When someone says that mafia movie was good, it's not about the bloods or cripes (however it's spelled). If the game takes place in america, it's about the italian mafia.
