What is a Jew? And how can you tell? The nose knows
Facial/Cranial Features of Ashkenazim Jews
[Note that not all Jews have the physical features listed below]
A) Ashkenazim Jews have a long, large nose -- one that differs from Italian-type noses by the fact that it often curves downward at the tip; the nose often has a noticeable "hump" on the top portion of it, if viewed in profile; the nose often resembles the number "6," if viewed with the grooves of the "wings" of the nose, in profile [2]. Further, some gentiles have commented that Jews often have a facial appearance that seems "pinched," as if God had taken their faces between his thumb and fingers and then squeezed.
B) The forehead and temples of the skull recede quickly. In other words, the forehead and temples begin to slope or curve almost immediately, whereas in Whites those areas are more "wall-like" and vertical. Studies of Jewish skull shapes show that most Jews are either a) not Semitic; or b) only partly Semitic. Instead, they are Armenid/Hittite in their skull shapes [3]. This means that the term "anti-Semitism" does not really apply to Jews [also 3]. Further, many Ashkenazim Jews have short heads, as compared to Europeans.
C) The ears of Ashkenazim Jews are usually larger than a gentile's, especially the upper ear, and the ears often stick out, away from the head; this, combined with their large noses, often gives Jews a "rat-like" or "rodent-like" appearance. This "rodent-like" appearance is more noticeable when they smile.
D) Mouth opening/lips often larger than normal.
E) The eyes are sometimes slightly Asian in appearance, i.e. slightly more "squinted" than a European's. This is more noticeable when they smile, squeezing their eyes shut even more than a gentile's. Eyelids, especially the lower ones, are more puffed-out and "fleshy" than a European's.
F) Jews usually have a "weak chin" that does not jut out.
G) Jews usually have legs and arms that are, proportionately speaking, rather short.
H) Their head hair is usually curlier, and darker, than a gentiles; further, Jews often cannot grow heavy beards; their beards are often scraggly and frizzy instead.

[2] "Luschan holds that the hook-nose is by no means characteristic of the Semites, and contends that the number of arched noses that are found among the Jews is due to ancient intermixture with the Hittites in Asia Minor. He shows that other races also, as the Armenian, for instance, who have a good portion of Hittite blood in their veins, have hook-noses" (Jewish Encyclopedia IX [1905], 338). Also: "The relation of the breadth of the nose to its length, known as the 'nasal index,' has been considered one of the best means of distinguishing the various races of mankind." (Jew. Enc. IX [1905], 339). And, "The nose is generally the characteristic feature of the Jews, who have, on the average, the longest (77 ram) and narrowest (34 mm)" (Jew. Enc. I [1901], 619).
[3] "The most important problem suggested by a study of craniometrical results concerning Jews is the relation of the type head of the modern Jews to that of the ancient Hebrews and to the modern Semitic skulls. The pure Semitic skull is dolichocephalic [long-headed], as may be seen from a study of the heads of modern Arabs, Abyssinians, Syrians .... The only way the type of the head may change is by intermixture with other races. If the ancient Hebrews were of the same stock as the modern non-Jewish Semites, and if the modern Jews are their descendants, then a pure dolichocephalic type of head would be expected among the Jews. As has been seen, all results of craniometry prove that the Jews are brachycephalic [broad-headed], and that the dolichocephalic form is only found among them in less than two percent of the cases" (Jewish Encyclopedia IV [1902], 335). Also, "Some anthropologists are inclined to associate the racial origins of the Jews, not with the Semites, whose language they adopted, but with the Armenians and Hittites of Mesopotamia, whose broad skulls and cuffed noses they appear to have inherited" (Jew. Enc. X [1903], 264). Dr. John Baker's modern book Race also calls Jews brachycephalic instead of dolichocephalic.
