Question.... I was on a step team that gave each other nicknames. One of the girls was nicknamed Mafiosa. Would you have found that offensive?

(For what it's worth, she was biracial -- Italian and black -- and I believe she chose it for herself)

ETA: I'm asking because I'm truly curious in general and not being snarky about it.

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.
