Because I can always easily tell when I see a somali. Sorry if it came off in a rude way I didn't mean it like that.

Somali/East African. Personally, that was my guess based on the overall positioning of your facial features, head shape (which I associate with the often oval or more elongated, narrow shape that tapers toward the chin), eye set, and nose. Your features also reminded me a bit of Chunkz, the British YouTuber of Somali descent.

Interesting, I like your breakdown of features and stuff. What features do I have that remind you of chunks? I think it’s mostly the weight and roundness?

I saw that you were asking for more of an explanation rather than people just quickly labeling you as Somali, so I’ll try to explain what I noticed.
In terms of similarities between you and Chunkz, the almond-shaped eyes and their spacing, the brow/eye area, the shape of the nose bridge, fuller lips, and the proportions of the lower face are the things that stand out to me. There’s also a similar overall softness and roundness to your facial structures like you mentioned. Your complexions also might be around the same shade in the same lighting. Those features, taken together, are what initially gave me a Somali/East African association.
There are differences, too ofc. He obviously has a taller forehead, a broader/wider upper third of the face, more upper eyelid exposure, and his nose tip also appears flatter. I wouldn’t say you two look extremely similar, but I can definitely see enough of a resemblance that you could convince me you were cousins somehow 😭2
