Which ethnic groups smell different than you do?
Do you notice that certain persons of other ethnic backgrounds have a different body odor than you are used to? It can be a good, bad, offensive or other kind of thing. Or it doesn't have to matter at all.

| bandit1cat | reasonable | posted 10-Oct-2002 1:14pm Kate, I've noticed this. Every individual has their own body scent, but certain groups of people do smell different to me, like Blacks and Indians. Maybe it's in the diet and different foods eaten by people. |

| darkshadowsseeker | reasonable | posted 10-Oct-2002 2:30am But what are you talking about? |
| bcollins | reasonable | posted 10-Oct-2002 2:10am But I've never heard of such a thing. |
| teatree | nitpick | posted 10-Oct-2002 1:47am I agree with kaleb777 and what if this is something we don't notice or look for in other people, no matter their race. I certainly have nevr done this. If I notice body odor on anybody, and I mean anybody no matter their race or ethnicity, I figure it has to do with personal hygiene and not the person's race or whatever. |

| kaleb777 | nitpick | posted 9-Oct-2002 10:22pm Please be more specific with 'Black'. Blacks in Australia are actually Aboriginal people. Blacks in the US are of African origin. Otherwise good. |
