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.

I am not talking about the etymology of the word, I am talking about what the word has constantly been associated with since its inception

I'm pretty sure your original argument was the definition of the word.
