No, but you had said:



So, you're assuming the worst of people and that the only reason they're asking whether you're jewish is because you believe you have what others consider to be a "jewish" nose. And, obviously, you believe that to be thought to have a jewish nose is to be thought to have an ugly nose. I guess you're right. No one should take offense.

Why not just take it as a polite inquiry as to whether you're a MOT and therefore possible dating/marriage material for a jewish friend? Or get a nosejob.

I think what's she's saying is that "Are you Jewish" is a Euphamism for "you have a big nose, so you must be Jewish" She's both annoyed that they would comment on her nose and perhaps annoyed that they'd think it's ok to make that assumption that she must be Jewish because she "has" a big nose...and if you think she's coming up with new material that Jewish people are noted for their noses (rightly or wrongly), then you live under a rock.....I recall Chef meeting a (really hot) friend of mine who is a MOT and him saying that he'd never have pegged her for Jewish...there's a certain something there...it's like someone saying "I'd never have pegged Pamela Anderson as being Jewish" but no one would ever say "I'd never have pegged Barbara Streisand as being Jewish"....somethings just are, Burger. Leave it alone.
