    Either they are overengineering this mans mustache, or its plain racism… I cant think of anything else explaining it.

    I would like a little more context

    Edit: according to a quick google lens search, it is apparently a man being meassured during an aryan racial test (cant copy the link for some reason)

      Eugenics. Specifically phrenology/craniology. Check 'em out. We know it as pseudoscience, but plenty of idiots out there still see “measuring tool” and think “it science”, while supporting their beliefs they’re a superior race, so it actualy lingers on drenched in irony.
