Is it true that black people have a peculiar kinda smell ?

Just asking as idk if it's true.. someone told me...no hate pls..
No...haven't noticed myself smelling peculiar at all.
@SailorMarz lol i had to. tbh i havent heard anyone but old timey racists say things like this. never understood it. not unless they mean my hair, because i use certain things, or the oil i use on my skin or something

Actually, that's SORTA true... Depending on where the people are from.

The thing that makes some black people smell differently isn't them, it's their food. AKA why I said "depending on where people are from", as most black people in for example the US would most often have the same palate as any other person.

However, if you go to for example some of the smaller towns in Norway, there's a slightly noticeable scent. Also, apparently to them, Norwegians smell slightly sour, which makes sense considering they eat like 80% dairy products.

Its like saying "All Asians smell like the inside of Panda Express"

Smell varies by diet and personal biome, not race.

Regardless, even asking as you did is a recitation of an old racist trope.

everyone has their own smell

@SStarfish Exactly. Line up 1,000 black people, 1,000 white people, and 1,000 Asian people, and a dog would smell 3,000 separate and unique people. All equally human, but each unique too.
What in the actual fuck?

Oh my word..
It's the smell of JEALOUSY!! Jealousy is the motive! They are jealous- of your ability, to drive!

What? You're saying you haven't yet tried a few black guys to find out if that is true or false? ;-)
