[Frema S.]

When I was growing up in New York City, I wasn’t taught that black poeple smelled different from whites, but I noticed it myself. When I was sitting next to a black person on the subway, I often noticed that they seemed to smell like peanuts, and it was a pleasant smell. I never saw any of them eating peanuts, so it was a mystery to me. I didn’t have the same experience in other situations with black people (e.g., with some black girls in my ballet class). I don’t think I have ever told anyone until now about this. It would be interesting to find out if anyone else ever had a similar experience. (BTW, I haven’t had this same experience as an adult.)
