We have big noses

So, we (Westerners) have big noses.
This is the conclusion I have reached as I flipped through my grade three middle school text book. Big to the point where it has to be exaggerated to the point where it looks ridiculous. In fairness, we have bigger noses than Koreans. So when they are drawn in the text in cartonnish style, they give themselves big noses. To keep the proportions right, white people must be drawn with this elongated probiscus sticking out.
I polled several Korean coworkers, and compiled this composite image using advanced software of what they believe is "typical" for people of European descent.

wow.
