What do Asians smell like to white people?

Question

I'm Korean, and I've always wondered, what do Asians smell like to white people? Especially Koreans? Is it good different or bad different?

I've had several close Korean friends and, honestly, none of them smelled any different than me and my friends. I know what you're saying though. Many people of certain races may have a certain smell. Some people say that white people smell like "cheese" or "dairy". Some say Indian people smell like some sort of "curry" and that black people smell like "onions". It's kind of a racist way to look at it but it's just based on their personal experience.

From what I can gather, it's more about what the person eats and their genetics more so than their actual race.

If your clothes reek of Korean food, not just white people but others will find it smelly. I don't know but that's the case with a lot Indians. They are unaware that their clothes smell like curry after making and eating curry and they just go out like that. If you shower, use deodorant or perfume/cologne and your clothes smell fresh, you should be fine regardless of what race you are.

Its not bad. I can't describe it. Omgggg I love this one guy and he's Asian so his house smells good to me. I was neutral to it before.  Kinda smells like steamed rice but there's more to it than that

They basically smell faintly of their laundry detergent and shower gel. That's what my Singaporean classmate smells like, anyway.

Normal unless we are talking about pheromones. In college I was surrounded by Korean people and the girls always smelled amazing to me.

They just smell like people. You guys have smelly food though, so I'd imagine if you just ate a bucketload of kimchi a white person could pick up the smell
