I really don't like to poke fun at people's appearance. But also, yeah...

tbf Somalis have a very distinct look to them, kinda like India in some parts. I got some khazak friends who all look like Genkhis Khan, I shit you not lol There are certain regions where you can just spot that they are from there, and this mayoral candidate and the actor are both of somalian origin
