not tryin to be racist..?

Question

but after gym, a common simile used by certain people is
"u smell almost as bad as an indian". thats mean but i have noticed that, in general, the indians in my school smell like b.o
or a mixture of sweat n bodyspray. i don't wanna be racist, but certain indians stink more than anyone else i know. some of my best frnds r indian n they smell kind of o.k. but why is is that in my school, the indians smell worse then any other clique?

Answer 1

i've noticed that too in our school, but i doubt all indians smell like that. maybe whenever you smell them, they had forgotten deodorant that day. also, everyone has their own particular smell, my friends say my house smells like flowers, but i don't think it does because i'm so used to it. also, i doubt they know they smell bad, its probably the spices and curry they eat, they can't help it.

Answer 2

I think it's because of what they are eating at home. Indian people usually eat differnt kinds of curry every day. Curry has a lot of spices including onions, garlic and etc.

And I'm Japanese and many Japanese people say Americans and Europeans smell kinda funny, too because of what you guys are eating and biologically, white and black people have stronger body smell than Japanese people. I just want to let you know that it's not only Indians but many Americans and Europeans who are white and black usually have stronger body smell, also.

Answer 3

It's just the food they eat. The smell of the certain spices in their foods comes through their pores. You smell like what you eat basically. It isn't a reflection of hygeine, it's just simply a matter of how the body works in reaction to types of food.

Answer 4

Usually eating too much spice is making the body sweat smell strong and bad. I guess its not something that they have control over it but at least they should take shower more often.

Answer 5

hehe that is funny i am sure not all indians smell but a few do as well as blacks and whites and asians we all smell to someone. chinese people tell me whites and blacks smell of milk and other products. indian homes of curry and to us chinese and indians smell. its just the way. guess we have to cope with it in our muticultural socity hehe. ted
