Richard, you're right. My husband is still convinced that white people are a bit grubby. We don't wash ourselves after using the loo. (Not hands, we all do that. I mean 'elsewhere'.) and our men aren't often circumcised. He's never out of the shower, morning, noon and night. I have to say, while squeezing through crowds in enormous African markets, I have never ever smelt any body odour, although the folk were very poor, and one sweats like a pig in those temperatures. Yet our lovely Norfolk neighbour has the idea that all black people 'smell of the jungle'. There isn't much jungle left actually! Such prejudices are a bit annoying and only wider travel, experience and knowledge can dispel them.
