He didn't specifically say he hated them, but how is what he said not ignorant racism?
I'm suprised you consider it semantics Paul.
Not sure if your granddad was racist for that, as diet effects the smell of a person, people usually don't notice it's the diet that effects oder.
I remember when I use to eat only Chinese food; I was working out at a gym and two blacks walked near me and said very loudly "I SMELL CHINESE PEOPLE". 😕
I use spices that are mostly from India/Sri Lenka, and if I use too much of it, I smell just like "Indians".
If you know of any blacks or Indians or Asians, they use certain kind of foods and oils, etc. Some of them use certain oils on their skin and hair, sometimes, it smells great and refreshing and other times it doesn't. If you applied the same oil on your hair or on your skin, you'd smell just like them. I've heard of some blacks using sulfur on their hair, which is going to smell pretty badly, esp. in the summer season, some seeking cholesterol (fat) on their scalp use all sort of products that doesn't always smell great.
I don't believe he was racist for saying she smells b/c she's black, although I believe she probably smelled b/c she practiced whatever oil/products on her skin/hair that gives off an distinct oder.
Plenty of Indians from India use spices that I use to, and again, I have to be very careful not to use too much of it, or else I'll end up smelling like the spices, and the spices are very strong. I've used the type of anti-perspirant that is crystal and sometimes that isn't the best deodorant, there is a difference between deodorant and anti-perspirant.
If a person eats a lot of sulfur based foods (I think some are like: garlic, onions, cabbage, beans...food that smells)...also effects how they smell, if they are around others who eat the same way, they won't be able to smell each other, it's only when someone who doesn't eat that diet comes around and says "eww", lol.
Here's info on sulfur:
Sulfur is a component of every cell. It is notable in the hair, skin and nails. The curliness of hair depends on the sulfur to sulfur bonds of cystine. Humans get most of their sulfur from protein, (which provides the amino acids cycteine, cystine and taurine) Milk, fruits and vegetables contain sulfur. We would normally receive enough sulfur in our diets through milk, fruits, vegetables and meat. Processing foods lowers the sulfur content.
What Sulfur does in the body: Sulfur is needed in the formation of the hormones….Component of some amino acids….Important in the manufacture of many proteins….Keeps your energy levels stable….Helps to keep hair, muscles and skin healthy….Contributes to fat digestion and absorption….Works in heparin, vital to blood thinning….Found in the liver and tissues….Helps build the amino acids cysteine, cystine, taurine and methionine….Found in insulin and helps regulate blood sugar….Combines with toxins to neutralize them.
Physical Symptoms of Low Sulfur: Fatigue….Sluggishness
Causes of Low Sulfur: A protein deficient diet or an inability to break down protein….Processing food lowers the sulfur content….Not consuming sulfur food sources….Strict vegetarian diet….Lack of egg consumption.
Low Sulfur can cause: Arthritis….Lupus…. Fibromyalgia,….Allergies ….Asthma….Acne…Candida infections

It's true that diet can change a persons body oder.
Yup, I tried different diets, aprox. 6 months at a time, and I watched how it slightly changed my body chemistry, which includes odor (not oder). It effected the amount of oil on my skin (natural sheen) as well as my hair.
I was on a no meat diet for about 6 months (and later on excluded fish), eating mostly soy-food, and guess what? I developed an allergy to TALIC, isn't that odd, any perfume with talc on it reacted badly to my skin! Talk about a chemical reaction, I couldn't even take the smell of talc, and I had to change all of my perfumes as once the talc hit my skin, it changed the odor all together, it was no longer a nice scent. So, I found that vanilla-based perfumes didn't effect my skin or order and I didn't react badly once I smelled it. So, I switched my perfumes to only vanilla base (went to Dillard's or something like that and found the best vanilla base perfume). I was eating a lot of garlic, so I was getting a lot of sulfur in my diet. I also had a slight amount of mercury in my system, slightly above normal, right around that time, so not sure if that had any issues, but this wasn't an air-born mercury issue (as I would be dead or dieing if it was), it was more so a food based issue with fish OR the mercury used in mfg of herbal supplements. Either way, when I started eating meats again, and stopped to tofu (soy-food), I didn't have a bad reaction to talc, I could use talc based perfumes again without it smelling badly on my skin, and that included lotions as well.
It's a funny business when you change your diet, as you change your body chemistry, which is related to odor.
(warning: this is going to sound disgusting) If a woman eats too much fish, her man will know it.
We secrete what we eat, our skin is a pores gland, what we secrete is alot more then meat, it's also the spices/herbs/sulfur.
We secrete what we eat, our skin is a pores gland, what we secrete is alot more then meat, it's also the spices/herbs/sulfur.True, which would explain why many cultures who use strong spices have different body odors. I've noticed that the more animal products I eat the more odor I have, but since I rarely do, I smell quite sweet!! 😊
Also I've heard if you put a clove of garlic in your shoe that by the end of the day you'll taste it in your mouth. Pores work both ways, absorbing and expelling.

Wow. We make up 1/3rd of the U.S. pop. Cool. And were also the largest minority in the country.
I hate that word. Minority. But, wow hu?. ^

"Talc is closely related to the potent carcinogen asbestos"

Although I don't have skin or smell repulsiveness toward talc, I tend to stick wth vanila based perfurm, and remember the perfum with talc smelled badly on my skin when I was on that no meat tofu diet (but had some mercury issues in the blood, as I had a blood chemistry done and they found it).

Yeah, I am trying to figure out the right balance for me too, as food should change with the season and with age, but never works out that way.
Wow, I never knew about garlic in the shoes, lol. I know that there is a skin cream I would apply and end up tasting it, each time, I was careful not to apply it next to my mouth area or any mucus membrane...and I would end up TASTING it, it was awful, I stopped using it. (this is just a small wonder...since we are sorta dancing around the pro-black issue...and this just popped up in my head...)I wonder if someone who is pro-black and worked as a chemist would use a poisonous chemical in a product such as a skin lightener that would cause people who used it to develop a cancer or something. You never know!
I think that the two best spices to use when eating a lot of meat is ginger and if you eat a lot of sweats, add cinnamon. Both of those spices are boasted to help break down the food you are eating, the slowing down of the food in the stomach is what causes the odor as well. Mostly, if one eats meat, they tend to also crave sweets, both meat and sweets attract bacteria, and if the body isn't able to break the food down in 2 hours, it just sits there. Cinnamon fights bacteria and so does ginger. Cinnamon works well with someone concerned with diabetes but ginger can effect the kidneys, so watch out for that.
I've heard ginger is excellent for digestion problems...yep.
And talking about our pores absorbing chemicals, well people don't realize that even bathing or swimming can pick up chemicals or toxins. I believe it's either fluoride or chlorine that contributes to a thyroid problem, and both are in our water supply. Well city water supply.

Very good. I went through oral chelations, even using EDTA (which is also used for anthrax as well), but it's hard to come by EDTA and people have been arguing if oral chelation works as good as intravenous chelation.
I tried the natural herbal chelation as well as the EDTA.

I'm not too well studied on the salts/electrolytes, I know that the benefits on the skin is great, better to take a salt bath with filtered water (if you have a good water filter); you can even add iodine to it (clear iodine, not the red kind that stains everything)...iodine is a potassium salt (if i'm wrong, please remind me, as this is my best recollection from a long time ago), if you apply too much iodine on the skin you can poison yourself (if you recall some of the turf battles in Europe among the warlords, some used poisons to clothing that would absorb through the skin)....anyway, adding various salts in your bath is almost the same as the salts you would get in the ocean, and you will find the skin becoming lustrous like you just stepped out from the beach (simply b/c you are soaking almost the same chemicals that you would have if you were swimming in the beach)...milk baths are reported to help balance the skin too, I forgot the chemical in the cow milk, but some cultures will even use real cow milk for their babies, giving the baby a really nice soft touch. That same chemical keeps the skin looking youthful as well, as milk is a whole food, it's not just a liquid, it contains all the sugar, vitamins (vital minerals), and protein to constitute it as a liquid-food.

Express yourself as distastefully as you like. I do however find it odd that you consider me a representative of Hispanics when I've never even volunteered, much less applied, for the position. I found it as odd as your reply to the thread topic which seemed to oppose actual fact.
i dunno.

Yep, sea salt is excellent along with milk and other natural substances like mud that has minerals in it also essential oils and bach essences. I use sea salt all the time. 😎 Our skin is our largest organ and it eats/absorbs what put on it. People forget this.

Yup, I know about our skin being the largest organ.
What I never tried was a mud bath or bach essences in bath (I've used some version of bach essence before). I'll look that up. I know that I use certain scents for various effects: lemon grass (concentration) and lavender (relax), etc.
I forgot to add (you probably already know this) but deep breathing exercises also helps with digestion.
