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.
Not the same thing at all. Italian and Spanish people are for the most part White Europeans. South American people aren't. It's especially problematic in the context of historical colonisation of those countries too. My mother's side of my family is Spanish and especially in the older generation there tends to be a distinctly racist undertone at how they view the Spanish culture of South America to the one in Spain.
