I am and immigrant myself, I live in germany and it would be strange for me to read a story set in germany where the main character is italian and is represented the same way as any other german even if this doesn’t have to do with what we are talking about and there is no way to distinguish a german to an italian,
but it would be the same for example if in a story set in japan I would customize my character white and then in the story anything about that would ever be mentioned, I wouldn’t make much sense
