A silly question. Sorry if it offends anyone?!


Question: A silly question!. Sorry if it offends anyone!?
I know dark people have the pigment in the skin which produces a smell, but do white people also have a pigment in their skin!. Do white people also smell to black people because it is a different pigment!. I don't mean to offend dark people, because they are good people but I just want to know!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
I think you are referring to the Melatonin!? Something Mela!. That black people have that whites don't normally have!. When Whites get it, it's cancer!. Anyways, I think there is something to your question!. You've heard of cancer sniffing dogs!? These amazing dogs that can sniff out a mole on a white person's skin and know it's dangerous!. I'm not saying anything bad!. All I'm saying is, maybe you have a heightened smell sense!. Maybe you smell a lot more then the average person!.

Either way, how do people expect to move on and have race relations if we can't talk about this in an open minded and jovial way!?

I think it's a good question, and I think it deserves honest answers and not criticism!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The pigment is called melanin, and unless you are an albino, you have it too!. Everyone does- your skin tone just varies according to how much you have!. Freckled spots are where it's highly concentrated!. And color- melanin - does not have a smell, nor does it produce one!. A person's particular odor is a combination of their own pheremones, sweat, and the bacteria on their skin!. Some folks are muskier than others, usually young males are stronger than anyone else!. You do not own a different pigment, you own the same one as everyone else!. And pigment doesn't smell!. Anyone who hasn't had a bath recently will smell to everyone around them, regardless of the color of the smeller or smellee, dear!. Noses may be more sensitive in some folks, but that's nothing to do your the color of your skin!. Blind people can't tell what color you are by the way you smell, although like everyone else, they can certainly tell if you stink!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Actually pigment doesnt make you smell!. Its toxins in your body so lets be honest black people and white people eat different foods!. Its a culture thing so the different foods can produce different toxins which are released within your sweat!. Ever noticed that fat people always smell bad!? Its because when you eat bad foods the grease and all that stuff turns straight to toxins when your overweight so the body becomes overflowing with toxins so it produces a smell!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Wow!.

WowWowWow!

Has someone told you about this supposed smell, or are you saying you believe you have actually smelled something like this, yourself!?

I am amazed by this statement!. I have dated "dark" men (one from Mexico, one from Ethiopia, one African American, married a man from China), my great-grandfather was "colored," and I have a number of "black" friends!. I can assure you that there is no smell that their skin produces!.

WOW!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Honestly is not ph difference or anything like that
white people smell (like a dog)when they sweat or get wet
blacks smell (like chicken and pork fat) after a hair dew
or a game of basketball
Chinese people smell (like burning cooking oil) usually after chess or checkers
Hindus smell (like curry) nuf said
the Mexicans smell (like booty) before during and after taking a breath or just always smell weird
and mostly all whites smell (like dog) after getting wet or sweating oh wait I said that already oops

I think that sums up the who smells like what theoryWww@Answer-Health@Com

Well kinda!. From what I understand there are different pH levels that can give off different scents!. So yes what you're saying might be true!.

But, a more likely explanation is diet!. Different cultures will have different diets!. And food can give off different smells through the skin!. As a whole, this could seem like a race thing!. When its a society thing!.

Its probably a combination of both!. But I'm no expert!

And if you don't want to offend anyone I wouldn't use the term dark people!. Just say black people, or African-Americans!. Not sure if it would offend anyone!.!. but just doesn't seem right to me!.

Hope that helps!Www@Answer-Health@Com

its not the pigment that smells!. everybody processes food differently so people have different smells!. Take for instance my husband and I, he and I eat the same things but for some reason my body odor always smells like onions(gross i know) but he smells like goat cheese(worse than onions i think) but i mean its nothing a shower wont fix for a while!. we're both mutts!. btw!. And I don't think that was a racist question at all!. hope this helps!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Im black!. I have never noticed this smell on myself or any other black people!. I have smelt the most horrible smell of white people and it's when they get wet!. Eww! I guess we don't notice ours and they definately don't notice theirs!. NO offense!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Everyone needs to relax about this question!.
She isnt being racist, shes asking a question!.
If you're not mature enough to handle different questions
get your parents to tighten the parental controls!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think everyone has a different scent, regardless of their race or skin color!.

Funny question though!. XDWww@Answer-Health@Com

Okay, I don't know why you would even post a question like this!. I understand that you're not trying to be offensive but basically saying a whole race of people smell funny because of their skin colour, then!.!. um!.!. yeah, I'm sure a few people are going to be offended!.

Hell, I'm offended on their behalf!.

If you were so curious to a question like this!.!. then perhaps you should have asked jeevs, rather than actual people!.

*shakes head in amazement*

PS!. Ms!. Pretty!. You're not helping the situation by being offended and trying to be offensive right back!. Believe it or not, there's actually white people who are offended by this question as well!. So before you turn a semi-racist question on a whole race of people, rather than just toward the one person!.!. you should start thinking before you speak!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

So are you trying to say that black people - or darker people - smell bad to you!? Because I haven't had that experience as a general rule of thumb!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

no but apperently you have the pigment to be racist!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

you smell!!! racist!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com
