It's not clear what exactly is the East African component in GEDmatch but all evidence indicates that it is in fact ''black/SSA''. The Caucasoid part of East Africans don't come as Northeast African in the calcs but as Southwest Asian, East Med, Red Sea (and Red Sea component also has SSA affinities) etc. Modern East Africans are a mix of Arabian-like populations and SSA/Bantu-like populations.
North Africans score around 10% of Northeast African and 10% of Sub-Saharan, everyone says in these forums that they are 20% SSA on average, if Northeast African is Caucasoid then they would be only 10% Sub-Saharan.
Anyway, genetics is disproving concepts like ''Caucasoid'', ''Negroid'' and ''Mongoloid''. These are outdated terms, most ''races'' out there are ancient mixes between different groups. Even Sub-Saharan Africans have some ancient West Eurasian (i.e. ''Caucasoid'') type of admixture.
