Strange stereotype

[Merca]

I've heard from a lot of people (non-Somalis) that say that we Somalis have a strange smell Some may have, but I'm not sure what kind of smell they are talking about, do anyone of you know?

Some somali homes do smell weird and the older generation have this weird smell i guess it comes from unsi and other stuff they use

 

[DuctTape]

We smell more like uunsi a lot of the time than we do bariis or suugo tbh

It's probably that, but not every Somali smells like that. It gets very irritating when you hear 24/7 that Somalis smell.

somalis are some of the most hygienic people in the world. but they gotta hate some how.

It's uunsi, and luwan, black ppl homes has a very weird smell, but the worst one is white ppl, these ppls homes literally smell like shit, that's because they don't wash there ass and don't wash there hands, they only do a few wipes and start walking around the house marinating it with shit and piss smell

I've noticed older generation cadaans don't bath, brush their teeth or clip their nails. Simple hygiene things are new to cadaans.

 

[--Ajakis Lax Max--]

why cadaan people have that particular smell though.

You're not supposed to cook in the same clothes u go out in, otherwise ur bringing the suugo smell with u outside. Make use of the ventilation above the stove and air out ur house before using uunsi.

I believe Hindi ppl have the same problem, it's the spice used in food

 

[GodKnowsBest]

Yes, the more Somali my friends are... The more like onions they smell. My more suburban friends like me don't have a particular smell.

Hindi ppl are 1000x worse, every single hindi literally smell like curry

I agree the spices they use is so much stronger than ours, it even affects their body odour

Atleast we dont smell like fermented fish philipinos. Used to hate going to my friends house when they made that crap
