UH Professor "Please use Deodorant"

quote:

---

The letter highlights body odor issues in class by singling out certain ethnicities by writing that "people from India use a lot of spices" and "Southeast Asian countries use a lot of garlic.”

A KPRC2 viewer described the letter as disappointing, insensitive and outright racist.

Facts and life are racist.

Eat Turtle sauce piquante and then put on a tuxedo, then holler at me.

So pointing out that their culture does not use deodorant is now racist. Good lord.

The people complaining don't have to smell these ethnicities.

True. Certain ethnic groups and most, if not all, liberals (truth) are just flat out nasty stinky.

What's going on

At Saturday morning swim class with the little one and reading about stinky students at UofH. How about you?

Hi, All:

"Welcome to campus. I would like to mention one sensitive issue that we do need to discuss. The issue has to do with personal hygiene and being considerate to others. This note is in no way to offend you and is being sent to all the graduate students. People from different parts of the world have different food habits and many Americans do enjoy ethnic foods. People from India use lots of spices and people from other Southeast Asian countries use lot of garlic which has lots of health benefits. However, there is one problem. The body odor due to consumption of these foods becomes strong. Also, several of our students do not change their shirts daily. The shirt may not look dirty but has absorbed one's body odor after wearing it whole day. To make the matters worse, Houston is very hot and humid most of the year and the perspiration from our body adds to the odor problem further. Here are some of the things that one can do (and must do):

"Please take shower every morning. If you have a quiz or test, please do not skip taking daily shower. Most Americans shower twice daily once in the morning and once before going to bed.

Please use deodorant/antiperspirant or light perfume after taking shower.

"Please change your shirt on daily basis.

"If you do eat spicy/garlicky food, please use mouth wash.

"The person having the odor is the last person to know it. However, it is not bearable for someone sitting next to you for hour and half or longer. So, please be considerate to others beginning today. Remember you are the ambassador of your country and do not want people to remember you as the one having bad odor.

"Once again, we sincerely hope that your stay at the University of Houston is a true learning experience for you."

A professor wrote that? That's terrible (I don't mean the subject)

I am guessing that I would not be wrong to assume that the author, Sally Mamdooh's snatch is no bed of roses.
