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.

You use the world "obviously" but I'm not sure that it means what you think it means. When I asked her why she assumed I was Jewish, paigow's friend said "because you have that bump in your nose." I do think my nose is not my best feature but I never said that I think jewish noses are ugly. "Obviously" at least one person out there in the world thinks bumpy nose = jewish nose. I think bumpy nose = ugly nose. That doesn't necessarily mean that I think jewish nose = ugly nose. Don't make me give you a logics lesson, it will just be painful for both of us.
Why would I not be dating material for a jewish person just because I'm not jewish? I wouldn't want you to stereotype about the MOT. That would just be wrong, now wouldn't it?
