I hear what say about portraits of "typical" representatives of a group

And I agree with that part of your post completely.

This, however, is not a portrayal of a "typical" representative of a group. It is a caricature of an individual. Even from your linked picture, it is apparant that his nose has a noticible deviation from average. The art of caricature takes deviations from average and exaggerates them.
