I smell terrible after work?

Question

I recently received a job in an office, there are many other workers around me all of them seem normal other then one particular African American man that smells putrid, other then that there is nothing I know that could induce this smell upon me. Should I tell him he smells?

I do not want to seem like I am racist, even though most black people I meet smell bad (again, I don't want to seem racist, but it is just a natural known fact).

Oh yes, one last thing - I do not sweat often so I know it isn't my body odor.

Answer 1

Unless you are enjoying each other in the break room, there is no way this guy's body odor is attaching to you.  The putrid smell you sense is probably yourself.  Maybe the nice black guy will leave a bar of soap on your desk so you can wash up!!  Good luck!!  

Answer 2

I would start by telling your supervisor about the odor your co-worker has.   then take it from there.

I had to do that once with a co-worker.   They finally split us up so we did not have to be near one another.
