That's anti semitism, which is just as serious as racism (a form of racism some might argue). Another example is today a man wearing a turban might be called a terrorist.
The point is, the nose and turban in these examples are features used to try and categorise or group an individual, but the hatred against the people is due to a deeper form of discrimination, one that is just as serious as racism.
However, going back to the original point, people with a big nose haven't faced discrimination like racism. In the example you gave, it's because the person attacked was thought to be or was Jewish, not specifically because they had a big nose.
