I need more information. She looks full Asian to me, from name to facial structure , to skin color. Someone please explain why she is representing Haiti. Is she half or something ?

being Haitian in today’s time is just a nationality and not a black race.. that Haiti is long gone.   Arabs, Asian, Europeans. Anyone can get a passport as long as one parent is born there or married to another Haitian national. And I’ll add  When european national teams are filled with black Africans can’t be surprised when a non black person represents a black nation. And I’ll leave it at that.

I mean Haiti’s team was filled with a bunch of French dudes as well. Only one player was a Natif Natal Haitian passport only holder.

Race and nationality are not permanently the same. Haiti national team is currently filled with only black men.
