I think Rut is talking about mustaches in particular. If so, this is also an unwritten rule concerning officers in the Military. It isn't a bad thing for an African American to have a mustache, but sort of frowned upon for others. I don't know why this is; it seems kind of stupid to me.
As far as beards and officiating go, it isn't anything specific, but it is there. I think the same applies to certain hair styles too.
