PREACH IT, SON !!!Originally Posted by Jaimecbr900
If this was ever even a half ass discussion, let's all be clear about something:
1. "Smell" is smell regardless of color/race.
2. Some people STINK because they don't have good hygiene, period.
3. Sometimes we associate a certain smell with a certain person, but make no mistake about it.....when that person finally bathes....he/she will smell exactly like the damn bar of soap they used. The "smell" will not stick to them.....if it does, refer to #2 above.
4. What the original poster's friends were referring to is a RACIST STEREOTYPE no different than some of the ones people have been throwing around in this thread as jokes. It is no more true than saying an Asian person smells like rice, or a Black person like chicken, or a Spanish person like tacos. It is a RACIST and stereotypical comment made by someone of little intelligence or knowledge.
5. More sensitive noses can definetly smell and differentiate between smells. Some can even tell you what some of the ingredients are merely from smelling. Dogs have 10x's the olfatory receptors that we do. Even DOGS can't "smell" a WHITE person vs a BLACK person. If I eat fried chicken right now, does that mean I'm going to smell like someone or do I just smell like fried chicken until I bathe? That's about as absurd as saying "WHITE" people smell one way and Black people smell another. EVERYBODY gives off a smell depending on their hygiene. That smell is not going to obviously point anyone unless you use an assumption.
