I assumed he was Latino because in S1 when he has that meal with the villanueva women, xo says something against Raf in Spanish and he proceeds to reply back to her in Spanish.
Also, the actress who play's Raf's mother is Latina, if it's offensive for an Italian to play a Latino than should it not be offensive to have a Latina play an Italian. Now, I'd be more offended if Justin/Raf were playing a white character. If it's so offensive that Justin might be playing a Latino when in fact he himself is Italian, then isn't it also offensive that Raf isn't part Jewish? Because not only is Justin Italian he's also Jewish. Imo as long as Justin is not playing a white character, than no one should be offended that he's playing a POC that might not be where he's from. Also, my assumption came from the Solano surname begin a Spanish surname. There is also the fact that this show is based on the Venezuelan version, meaning 99.9% of the people on that show were all Latin/Venezuelan born. Yes, JTV is based in the US so you will have more American/white characters. However, my assumption was that most of the Main's would be Latino and they are, so I didn't think that Raf could possibly be Italian. We should remember that just because ones surname might be Spanish/Italian does not mean that the person is from either of those places. __________________

It's funny my parents are from Greece and my name is Maria and people always assume I am Latina lol. Or at least when I was growing up in CA. One guy kept asking why my folks gave me a Spanish name when it's a popular Greek name. It's really hard to tell

When Rafael had dinner with Jane's family..i'm pretty sure she taught him a few phrases which was why he understood.
This time around at Black Friday - it's been many months. Seems like he comes and goes from the family house frequently. I assumed he's just picked up a better understanding of the language? __________________

In S1, Rafael understood and spoke Spanish a couple times, once while at dinner with Jane's family. So I'm pretty sure he's fluent. That doesn't necessarily mean he's supposed to be Latino. It could just speak to his education, the fact that they live in Miami, and the family business' connections in Mexico and South America.

I think we need clarification.
He could have understood Spanish for growing up in Miami |
