Mmmmm...curry!

One of the stereotypes that I find just plain weird is that Indian people smell like curry.

I don’t know, I guess it’s supposed to be because we eat curry a lot…but it’s still weird.

Anyway, I guess it is a pretty common stereotype because one girl seemed to take it very literally. When my sister was at work one day her coworker just came up to her and literally sniffed her (which is just plain creepy) and then she just says “You smell good!” as though she was surprised. My sister just looks at this girl like she’ s crazy (which she just might be) and the girl’s only response is “I thought all Indian people smelled like curry.” Now I’ve heard people use it as an insult, but I never thought that someone would take it so literally. I bet she was the one born that minute.
