      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.

        Idk the context of whatever the complaint is, but I just want to point out that people’s noses always look way bigger when you take closeup photos of them. It’s because the nose protrudes out from the face, so from a normal distance it’s just a little bit closer to the camera, but from close up the proportional distance difference and therefore apparent visual size of the nose is massive. If your nose looks big in a photo, re-take it from further away.

          cause it is. pretty sure they’re just demonstrating the source of where the line drawing was traced from.

      “Them” who? Because I’m Jewish and it sure as fuck doesn’t bounce right off me.

      Maybe you live a life of privilege and aren’t aware, but when someone attacks you for something about yourself that you cannot change and didn’t choose, it doesn’t feel great.
