Smelliness

Now we had this furore over some local TV channel calling asians (or was it just indians?) smelly just last year and the whole asian comunity (or was it just those who had nothing better to do with their lives?) rose up against the "racist" americans and there were fliers and signature campaigns and demonstrations flying all over the place....it had gotten quite ugly and eventually the editor of the channel had to apologise in public and i think we got an email from the chancellor about how "shocked and appalled" she was and all that bull

OK..now i have never really bought into all this "racism" funda....well maybe thats cuz ive never really encountered it...but mostly, its becuz if someone is being racist, it shows his indifference to "other cultures" and i actually pity such people...and try my best to "educate" them that there is a world beyond america and that besides white, there's yellow and brown and black and pink and all the other kinds of colors out there...so the point is that i never really bought into this whole smelly asians thing..

but in the last 2 weeks, ive had the fortune (or was it misfortune?) to really test this stand of mine...and it wasnt pleasant...maybe its the change in weather or some extra pollen in the air or just my hormones...but the kind of stink that i have had to bear is unimaginable....every second person who has come close (within societal limits) has stunk...stunk bad!...it gets worse when u give people a ride in your car...with the doors locked and the windows up, there's nowhere you can go if someone decides to "emit gasses"...it fills up the entire car and its not something u wanna inhale right after finishing 10 hours of a work day....and then what follows is equally hilarious...after committing the crime, they try to get rid of all "fingerprints" by pretending as if nothing happened, slightly lowering the window (in the hope that it gets rid of the stuff quickly), looking out and whistling...but people...ITS TOO LATE BY THEN...all i can do then is to play with the fan direction switches and try to create a circulation which takes most of the stuff away from me...in order to not embarrass them, i also cant confront them or make faces or ask them to stop what they are doing....but I HAVE A NOSE PEOPLE!

now im not saying that its only indians who smell....the point of this blog is just to say that PEOPLE SMELL....and thats something ive had to learn the hard way..not to take anything away from those who invest in deos and soaps and bathroom time...but its that one lazyass in a hundred that spoils it for the rest of us.....
