    Sorry, my brotha, but some of us are honest when we say European Americans smell like wet canines. I played football at a 90 percent Caucasian high school, and in the locker room, most of these dudes’ hair smelled. Honest. Beyond hygiene, I think it has to do with food. Mediterranean people who eat a lot of garlic smell like it, and East Indians sometimes smell like curry when they sweat. Caucasians? Salt, red meat, and yeasty breads.

    The title of the author’s book was not meant to be offensive. He is a white male interested in facilitating dialogue between the ‘races.’ He stated on a TV show that he had asked a black co-worker if it was true (about the wet dog smell), and she said yes. This, among other things, gave him the idea to create a web site that would allow people to ask any question, about anything, no matter how embarrassing.

    In addition, I have noticed myself that a considerable number of white people do have a ‘wet dog’ smell when their hair is wet. The question may be offensive, but it is legitimate. Also, I have a question for white people: Why do so many white people in certain parts of the country refuse to wear winter clothes when it is cold, or even snowing outside?
