I've always noticed that (to me, anyway) black people definitely have a smell that is off-putting, to say the least. I live in a mostly white suburb and take a lot of cabs. About 70% of the taxi drivers in my town are black. Whenever I get into a car with a black driver, I have to open the window because I get nauseated from the smell. However, I never smell that same smell with white cab drivers (even if they don't look like they've showered recently). On the subway, the same thing happens. The other day, I knew a black person had got on the train because I could smell him; sure enough I turned around and there he was. Why is this? Why do blacks smell different? I have a keen sense of smell and even base my relationships with boyfriends on what they smell like. I have always dated white men. There was one particular man whose smell I loved; however, none of them had smells I hated. What's up with that?
Is it normal that I feel sick when I smell that 'black people' smell?
