My manager Neil (you may know his as the older brother of Bro Legend Nathan Chamberlain) and I have decided to initiate a contest at work to see who can grow the worst moustache. There is talk that Kirby Overstreet and Drew may also be interested in joining the contest.

Nothing racist about it. A little bit of history first:

Mexican men are descendants of the hairless Natives and the bearded Europeans. This partly explains their moderate amount of facial hair. The 1980’s was the Golden Era of the Stache. Practically, EVERYONE had a moustache. But the moustache faded away (perhaps, but not officially, because of the association of facial hair with drug lords, federal agents and one of our worst presidents in recent history) and most Mexican men decided to be clean shaven.
As you point out, young Mexicans tend to have that ridiculous hare lip, in a vain attempt to grow a full blown, manly moustache. Unfortunately, most of them fail and those who succeed tend to do so because of their slightly hairier genes. One of those success stories was my dad’s brother Cesar who had a manly Burt Reynolds-esque bigote. Two of my mom’s brothers also have full grown moustaches. As you may recall I also had a bit of hair on my moustache section, and I awaited for its growth so I completely could shave it off (I don’t think my face is fit for mustaches) but I was unable to do it so.
In conclusion: your theory is right and I agree that most of the moustaches we get are

Check out my Journal tomorrow: I'll post pictures of Great Mexicans and their Great Mustaches, just to show off more of my succesful countrymen.
