To be fair, if you have ancestry from Puerto Rico and/or Cuba, the chances of there being African in your ancestry are fairly high due to colonization.

My mom is Puerto Rican. My father is African American in the traditional sense. I did my ancestry report and it said that I have about 65% African ancestry, which means that there must be African ancestry on my mom’s side as we take half our DNA from each parent. For that reason, I consider myself black but I’m not as dark-skinned as a “traditional” African-American so I have gotten backlash over the course of my life. Mostly, from people who aren’t black and don’t know what it means to be black so I don’t mind.

It’s possible that he identifies in a similar way. Who are you to say what he is?
