"East Asians are genetically predisposed for the allele associated with the dry-type earwax and a reduction in body odor. East Asians (Chinese, Koreans, and Japanese) have fewer apocrine sweat glands compared to people of other descent, making East Asians less prone to body odor."

Seems to me that this should be a pretty big advantage relative to other ethnics. I've had white roommates who smelled terrible, even after a shower. Blacks, Curries and Arabs are often bullied by being called smelly. Of course, you could argue having less scent gives a pheromone disadvantage or something.
