Do you think black people smell funny?

I fucking love that you refer to your lover as lover!

Can't help but be reminded of

That is now exactly how I picture your personality (Rachel Dratch), I just picture it in a prettier package.

VERY!

 

odd

 

if a lady tells me i smell like bacon, i'm asking her to marry me that instant

 

It's commonly known that black people don't particularly use deodorant.

lmao i remember that sketch, and yeah thats a pretty accurate assumption

 

Our scents are predicated by our diets and by our body chemistry.

Folks that have oilier skin will have a heavier scent,

as will folks that eat spicy foods.


ROFLMAO, Lootfish!!!

No kidding!

Maybe they're from a 12 Step Program to become PC??? :rofl:

 

i have never been that close to a black dude or chick in my life, but i am sure that they don`t smell much different from white people. if you are clean you smell nice, if you are dirty you smell shitty. maybe all all of those people were dirty and thats why the had this smell, don`t know i mean wtf

 

i've lived with a few black people. only one smelled really awful, and he didn't shower. ever.

the others smelled like their various lotions and whatnot that they constantly slathered themselves in.


when delivering pizzas to indian people, i nearly vomited every time because they apparently cook crappy smelly food and grind it into their carpets.

 

Why don't you walk out of a hot shower and see if you don't get ashy by the time you dry off

Cocobutter - 1 : Ashy - 0 :hat:

 

i don't shower...

 

I smell like onions and marijuana

 

I dont think its being racist. saying that ALL black people smell is racist but i know what you're trying to get at because I ran into a few black people that had that certain smell to them. just like italians have greasy hair or garlic breath.

different races have certain smells, they probably dont notice or dont care about

 

not really. race is a social construct and nothing more. human variation is clinal, and there are no races among humanity as far as biology and anthropology are concerned. if there were, most traits would be racially based, but this is not the case.

body odors have some to do with biochemistry, which is unique to an individual but may be somewhat heritable. but it has a lot more to do with diet and hygienic practices.

some black people in the US use personal hygiene products that most white people in the US do not. some black people in the US eat foods that most white people in the US do not, but i'd wage a relatively large sum of money that this is much less that case than hygiene products (deodorants, lotions, shampoos).

then there is the fact that black people are in fact a minority in the US. there simply are far more white americans than black americans. as such, a white american will meet fewer blacks than other whites. with a smaller sample size, it's easier to jump to overgeneralizations, or to be shocked at differences from the group one belongs to.

i've met a lot of black people who smelled strongly of various products i'm unfamiliar with. i've met a lot of black people (customers at workplaces in the past, many of them regulars) who didn't seem to have any different aroma than any other white customer who entered.

i'm positive it has nothing at all to do with ethnicity, only what types of hygiene products a person chooses to use and what one chooses to eat. any genetic factors are unrelated to race. and anyway, even when i did notice an aroma unfamiliar to me, it's never been an unpleasant one.

 

I may used the wrong word in that sentence. I suppose it does have to deal with genes

Im italian. I have a certain smell to me when I dont shower maybe 2 days. no not B.O but its hard for me to keep the smell of shampoo to stay in my hair because of the grease/sweat, its a pain inthe ass cause it builds up fast. thats gene talk though

but when i talk about different races havig different smells, it might be the food that stays with them. you walk in a house with mexicans...you get the mexican smell. you walk in a polish house...you get a polish smell. you walk into an italian house, you get an italian smell

I didnt agree with jimmy about diet. well i suppose it could be a diet because of the food they cook...maybe the smell just stays with them

 

you are what you eat, pretty literally.

differences in diet will cause differences on all levels, and i don't find it hard to believe that it can alter your aroma. i had an ex in highschool who could tell if i had taken my adderall or ritalin (depending on what i was currently prescribed) based on how i smelled alone, and she was never wrong, though i couldn't tell a difference. a great example is how people who eat a lot of garlic in most of their meals can smell different (beyond the issue of breath)

 

ok so we agree on something. and garlic is sooooooo good but people seriously need to lay off on it Lol. I dont mind garlic breath most of the time but some people get it BAD. Like my dad. I cant even talk to him. I have to be rude and give him a mint before anyone else notices it. I love garlic but I Dont get garlic breath, thank lordy

 

but i don't mean breath. a persons body smells a bit different if they eat large amounts of garlic
