The answer to your question is yes, we all smell different. However, blacks don’t smell one way and whites another. Bloodhounds can certainly tell the difference between us all. I think that the reason is probably a combination of metabolim and diet (this is an unscientific theory on my part). I spent a year in South Korea a few years ago and noticed that the people there had a different smell. Not B.O., and not unpleasant, just different. After a few weeks of living there it became unoticable. I dated a Korean woman while I was there and we discussed the issue. She said when she first met me I definitely smelled funny, but she didn’t notice it currently. We decided it was probably because I had been eating the Korean cuisine for some time. When I returned to the U.S I didn’t think to ask anyone if I smelled different, and no one mentioned it to me, so my theory could be way off base. So to answer your question another way, African-Americans, Asian-Americans, Hispanic-Americans, European-American, etc. do not have a distinct odor that can be generalized. However, if your white neighbor enjoys chewing on garlic cloves you will be able to smell him a mile away. On another note, I worked some summer construction jobs in college. The crew I worked with was made up of white people. There were two guys who worked there that would show up every morning clean and fresh, but after a couple hours of working in the heat could clear a room. They both swore used deoderant daily but sweating in the heat got their B.O. in an uproar. So, some people may have a natural preponderance for smelling bad, but it certainly is not a racial issue.
