I see many Asians around me (I am a Chinese-American) with high and protruding cheekbones, so I am not sure if mine are typically Asian or more like something else. In Asia high cheekbones are not a good sign but in the West they are considered attractive. Do I have stereotypically high Asian cheekbones, is high and protrudimg cheekbones limited to ethnicity / race? How would you classify my phenotype?

I've been called mixed, Indian, Indonesian, Xinjiang native etc. My mom who's of 1/2 northwestern ancestry has sharper features than me. My uncle, mom and I all have pale skin. She has more of a V-shaped or heart-shaped face, small, sharp nose with a straight spine and a tilted tip. Her eyes are more round with barely a fold. My dad has a wider face with darker skin, slightly deep-set eyes. Do all East and Southeast Asians have high and prominent cheekbones? Would you say my uncle and I have them? Is there anything non-Asian to our cranial-facial features? I have a moderate crease on one of my eyes, the lashes there are pretty curly and curl slightly upwards though not too prominently. I'm sort of curious whether I have substantial amounts of non-East / Northeast / Southeast Asian because 1/4 of my ancestry is from the northwest (as far as it can be traced), and historically the northwest of China lay along the Silk Road. I have 3.3% Neanderthal from 23andme and the strangest part is I got 10% chance of being blonde. However, from the results I have so far, I seem to be 100% or close to 100% East Asian. When Dr. McDonald did his BGA I expected something like Central Asian, Middle Eastern / North African or even Indo-European / Iranian, but turns out there is none.
He gave me 80.3% (+-14.2%) Southern Han+19.7% Broadly East Asian (+-14.2%), for a total of 100% E. Asian.
I would like to be perfectly honest. If the trace Euro in the ancestry composition (not sure if, in my case, 0.5% would be considered a significant amount OR even real) of me and other Chinese individuals IS from recent European colonialism and aggression in modern Chinese history, I would feel very, very uncomfortable. I'd like to interpret it as Central Asian, but need opinions of you guys.

Do I have high / prominent cheekbones? Do I look non-Asian in any way? How about my uncle? ^^
Yeah for some reason a few of those tests tell me I'm more Southeast Asian than the average Chinese person.
