Why do Indian or Hindu people don't like to use deodorant and think their natural smell, smells nice?

Excerpts include!!!!

• While you guys cover the stink of your body with spray’s, perfumes and deodorants, Indian’s do not use deodorants in order to know when sweat starts to make them smelly, and thus take a great good bath to become fresh again…unlike you people of course, who does take 1 bath a year !!
• My Muslim friend however, said she has a prescribed deodorant so I dont know…
• because of there religion I think. I also think there like the IRISH. some people are like that to!
• Also, bear in mind that you are used to White people’s smell……..A lot of South Asians i’ve talk to speak about Westerners smelling like pork and boiled vegetables!
• I have a friend who is Hindi and she uses deodorant…maybe its just some people….or a Stereotype
• a girl in my office used to put crap in her hair that smelled so bad, my throat would close up and i couldnt breathe, it was nasty, i think it was to cover up her BO

Arts Festival. Didn’t see any art, really. Just a buncha vendors and beer stations. I did like this bike, though. Food was ok.

On 5/2/11, he began retweeting the most racist and offensive hate-mongering on Twitter surrounding the bin Laden killing. In this piece, he reflects on the anti-Muslim, anti-Middle Eastern, anti-South Asian racism he’s experienced for the last ten years.

i had a dream last night… well yesterday that is, since i don’t sleep at night anymore.  Anyway, in my dream a young woman was being extremely rude to me. I don’t really recall any distinct details about the dream. Just that i was having an encounter with a women who was being EXTREMELY rude. I woke up, a little pissed off, rubbed my eyes and went to the toilet to take a piss.  I walked back to bed and yelled out to myself, “FUCK THAT!!!”.  I refused to go back to sleep.  I wouldn’t give that bitch the satisfaction.  But, if i see her again…
