I ask because I think I could pull it off. I think enough time may have elapsed that I could proudly sport that particular tuft of hair without being associated with fascism and genocide.
What do you think? If you saw me walking down the street, would you think “Hey, looking good!” or “Racist warmonger?”
I wouldn’t think racist, but I would think “Hey, a Hitler moustache!”
Not in this lifetime.
I think Robert Mugabe pulls it off altright…

A little over twenty years ago there was a New Wave band called Sparks. One of the lead guys had a Hitler moustache and no one cared all that much.

Great. Now I’m picturing Fabio with a Hitler moustach. Now there’s a disturbing image to try and sleep on.
I think you have to consider the third possibility of “Hey, whose the guy with the stupid looking moustach?” I mean…people only stopped making fun of Hitler’s moustach when he was able to have them killed for it.
I don’t think it will be until the Americans and such stop teaching history.
Why isn’t it called a Charlie Chaplin moustache, by the way? You can claim you’re trying to look goofy, not evil. Might have to prove it with some silent, a-little-too-fast slapstick routines, though…
Just go easy on the khaki shirts, long boots and flappy riding pants (what are those called?) if you decide to go for it…
I think maybe a good indicator will be when people stop calling it a Hitler moustache.
That’s not a moustauvhe that’s just the cleft (or whateve it’s called under the nose.
Jodphurs. 
Rick Adelman had one for a while. Everyone made fun of him. I think his team called him “Herr Adelman” (in a fun way) behind his back. But no one thought it was racist or anything. Just like Alereon, everyone thought “Hey! A Hitler mustache!”
If you wear a tight jacket, baggy pants, a bowler hat and carry a cane, people would probably not think you were imitating Hitler. 
I’m not trying to nitpick your spelling, but it’s really a very weirdly spelled word–the correct spelling is jodhpurs.
Philtrum.
I must admit I immediately thought of Ron Mael of Sparks when I read the thread title. He’s switched to one of those Clark Gable pencil jobs now, btw, but in his heyday he certainly looked more like a malevolent Chaplin than an Adolf. Getting away with it would depend on whether it made you look more like a Chaplin or a Hitler. Why not try a fake one over the weekend some time and see what reaction you get from friends and family?
I tried a handlebar design
My Fu Manchu was real fine
My Ronald Colman made 'em blink
My Pancho Villa made 'em think
But when I trimmed 'em real small
My Jewish friends would never call
-----------------Sparks, “Moustache”
Or jodhpurs, whatever. Thanks!
I see I came here a little too late for filling in the philtrum blank. Ah well, I’ll get another chance to make up for the jodhpur thingsomeday.
You could probably make the moustache work. (I thought is was called a postage stamp, myself.) Just don’t wear one while invading Poland. VERY cliche.
Right now, it will even help you pick up women too! Here
Dunno. I imagine about the same time it’s once again safe to name male children “Adolph”.
