No. Because there are all different types of Mafias... Sicilian, Chinese, Russian, etc. Mafiosa is just how you say female Mafia member in Italian/Sicilian. Now what does offend me is the rapper Gotti. When he went on the show Growing Up Gotti and asked Victoria permission to use the name, I thought she should have said no. I don't know why she would want her family's name associated with that kinda of rap, even though her family's name was known for the mafia and killing people.
