Do White People Smell Like Wet Dog?
The other day Teresa and I were having lunch with our hispanic friend Matt (his race becomes relevant in a moment, bear with me). We were talking about the fact that we'd quit smoking and he said that he could tell because we didn't smell like smokers anymore.
This led to a discussion about good and bad smells and eventually he said that he'd noticed that white people smell like wet dog. After a moment of confusion he elaborated, if a white person gets into a shower for about a minute (so they are completely wet but haven't really had a chance to soap or soak) and then get out, there is a distinct wet dog smell for a minute or so. He also said that it only seems to happen to white people, apparently wet black people smell like wet black people and wet hispanics smell like wet hispanics.
This was news to both of us, and we just laughed about it wondering if he was crazy.
The point of this was that we were just watching <cough> Jenny Jones </cough> and there was a preview for an upcoming show "White people that hate white people". One of the things that a whitey hating woman said was that white people "smell like wet dog and balogna".
Can anyone confirm or deny?
