I don't think it's racist if he smells bad (whether it's BO or nasty curry). If a white guy came in, a black guy, Asian, etc. came in and smelled of East Indian food I wouldn't hire them either. I wouldn't hire anyone who didn't smell "normal", someone could walk in smelling of Strawberry cupcakes and I'd still say no (that has more to do with me wanting cupcakes all day long then).

Plain and simple its hygiene, if they can't bother to change their clothes to the interview it's their fault.
