Why do they say that many middle eastern people smell?

Question

Is it the spices they eat? Is it something in their genes? Their is the Fish Odor Syndrome that I saw on the Tyra Banks show. If some of them have that that is sad. My italian friend had that. She tried to commit suicide because it was ruining her life. Horrible Smell. I have never come across someone middle eastern who smelled bad. And I have many middle eastern friends. But why do people say this? It's not true. Because all of you know that people from all different races can smell bad. It could be an illness, bacteria infection, religious ways, types of food that they consume, ... I mean humans don't want to be told that they smell like shitt and become outcastes. There most be an underlying problem!!! People can be very clean yet smell bad because of a condition.

Maybe I'm just the stupid one here.

Answer 1

"They" say it because they are ignorant. They would rather believe something that puts another group down, than to go to the trouble of actually learning something about that group. Plus middle eastern people aren't exactly the most popular right now.

And no I'm not middle eastern, but I've known a few and they're just like everyone else.

Answer 2

I think you are what you ingest. If you smoke, you stink. If you drink alcohol, it comes out of your pores. Many people think Americans smell like milk. We do eat alot of milk products. I think if you eat healthy and exercise and cleanse properly, you won't have these stink problems.

Answer 3

if we smoke, you can tell them by their clothes and the smell coming out of their pores, i have friends of all sorts, but when they sweat they really smell like their house, it has nothing to do with being racist. its just true, they eat funny spices

Answer 4

I hate garlic eaters and smokers. Oh, that's me.
