"Roman Nose" and Race?

[Deutschkanadier]

This is a repost of something I posted on Stormfront:

I have this large, thick aquiline nose and it really bugs me. What does this preticular feature tell me about my ethnic history? My nose comes from my German side of the family and I just dont understand it... I guess I just need to know what this says about me and my racial background. My nose is my only feature that makes me insecure, I always have this scary thought in the back of my head because my friends always joke around and tell me its a sign of semetic history or something... but I take it seriously. I'll provide some pictures of noses that look similar to mine...

Like the one in the bottom right hand corner:



Same basic hooked look in profile but again mines probably a bit thicker looking from the front:

Same profile as the "Roman Nose" here:





Does this mean that theres some sort of admixture? I dunno maybe im overreacting... I'll post pics of my nose if absolutely necessary.

That kind of nose is not exotic to European Europids. It can occur in Southern as well as Northern Europe and is probably a sign of Dinarid admixture or Dinarisation. As you can see in the picture you posted yourself, it is quite different from the Jewish (Semitic) stereotypical nose, which has the appearance of a 6 in profile view.

If i were you, i would post a set of pictures (not only of your nose), so we can give you better info on your subracial make up, preferably a picture from the front, side (profile) and maybe a 3/4 picture. Just make sure you post in the Personal Taxonomy forum.
