It’s because he’s half Dominican and wants to fully embrace it.
Yes he was born in New Jersey with a Dominican mother (God rest her soul) and a black father. But he’s fully embraced his Dominican side especially after his mother’s passing. He even plays for them during the Olympics and goes to DR to help out as much as he can.
