    I had a conversation about this topic with a Chinese friend today. He told me that many of his Asian friends agree that white people, especially white men, have an unpleasant odor, especially when compared to Asians. I have noticed that there do seem to be odors that are largely race-specific; however, I know that when I eat curry, I smell like it for days afterward, so I think it is largely dietary. My other theory is that we have genetic predispositions to fostering different types of bacteria on our skin, but I have no scientific basis for that theory.
