One time on the subway train in Chicago, me and two friends of East Asian origin were coming back from a dinner at Chinatown. When we sat down, next to this African American man, he immediately commented really loudly while holding his nose: “Damn, you guys smell like fried rice.” One of my friend immediately got mad and replied: “you got a problem with that?”. There was a silence for about 5 seconds until my other friend looked at me started laughing, and then the stranger started chuckling as well , and then we all laughed.
