I think its because they are a hairy bunch (some but not all) and whenever they start to sweat the bacterica on their skin mixes with the sweat that is bound on their hair on their body which gives us a raw smell.

I assume that raw means unwashed? I cannot claim to have noticed any particular smell associated with any race. I remember a survey about bathing and hand washing in the US that said that NY was..low on the list in terms of frequency. Have you smelled whites while in another state?

If it means foul or rank maybe you're hanging around with teenage white boys who have just entered puberty and haven't learned how to manage their body odors, yet. I'ld avoid assuming all of any race has a particular odor, or flavor.

I always reply that the smell is hair care products but I think we all just smell differently and we are not used to the smell of other races. Sometimes I ask my nonsmelling black friends if they smell our other black friends (that do smell) and they always say no.

Anyhow, what does 'raw' mean? I'll try to tell you if you describe the smell... probably something to do with hygeine products or food...

I assume you mean nasty, or something similar. Perhaps you are smelling lower class whites, whites who work outdoors and sweat, etc. In my experience, black people tend to sweat more quickly, or have B.O. that is stronger than white people...but I can only assume this is based on socioeconomic class as well.

It could be that my dogs sleep on my clothes when I throw them on the floor. Or that my feet sweat too much. Or that I really don't care when let I gas out.

Name : Desiree26830, Gender : F, Age : 17, City : sicklerville, State : NJ Country : United States, Maybe the white people you have been around have smelled bad, but I have smelled some nasty whites, blacks and Hispanics - it doesn't matter. I used to think black people smelled bad, but then I went to cosmetology school with black people, and I realized it was just the smell of oil sheen, and that was it. So it could be anything. They could just be wearing some nasty perfume. But I definitely shower and I smell damn good!

Could it be because they eat raw meat? Or, do you need to fly the nest and get out into the world a little more?

Call me an idiot- but how does 'raw' smell? To me, the natural body scent (not B.O.) of a black person smells 'raw'. I've never put that word to it- but I guess it fits...
