By the same premise, Scott happens to be part-Mexican (just like Tyler Posey). Note the emphasis. Like Tyler, Scott does not have a Latin surname, indicating that Rafael himself is also probably not fully Latino (unless he was adopted). I don't think that Melissa's exact ethnicity has ever been addressed (although the actress herself is not at all Latino). So there is no basis for such a bunch of mixed-race/ethnicity people to latch onto just one of their many lines of ancestry and call special attention to it. The show is not about a teenaged Mexican werewolf living in California! Their dominant cultural background is Northern Californian, as is that of most of the town.

It’s not at all relevant to your main point, but since you brought it up I figured I’d clarify. You are correct Melissa Ponzio is Italian-American (not Latina), but on the show it is her (not Agent McCall) who has been explicitly written as Latina. In “Galvanize” it’s revealed that her maiden name is Delgado. It was so insignificant that when Posey was asked at this year’s Comic Con he didn’t even remember whether his Character was Latino or not (even though he was in the scene), but Jeff Davis reminded him of the scene and confirmed that he did write Scott’s character as at least Half-Mexican (which explains why the scene was even included in the first place). We know nothing at all about Agent McCall’s nationality, but could infer from the name that it’s possible he is at least partially Scottish (barring adoption).
