Ghee is just clarified butter. It must have been rancid, there's no way the smell of ghee would have made you sick.
WRT the OP question, it's hard to say. I love indian food, kimchi, foie gras, miso, blue cheese, raw oysters and lots more things that are an "acquired taste". If you're a steak and potatoes guy who has never tried/enjoyed them you may find a lot of these smells (and tastes/textures) completely offensive. It's not really racist, maybe a little uninformed.
