The smell funny issue goes both ways.
I always heard white people complaining about the smell of blacks... (Personally I think it's the hair products that white people are not a custom to using and so they "smell" it more... but that's another story.)
What was funny, was when I was in class years back and this black friend of mine started bitching because it was raining... when I asked what the big deal was she said... "water makes white people stink"... she said it's common knowledge that white people smell like wet dog when wet.

I had never heard that, or even noticed...
So I asked more of my black friends about this myth, and they all said it's true. So... I don't notice a smell. But it seems they do.
Point here is, all of these hatreds and misunderstandings go both ways... and 99.9% of them are myths and grow from lack of intelligence.
