For the most part, they don't. Comments like that are based on racial stereotypes and are not fair. That said, different races of people do have different ratios between the number of sweat glands and oil glands. There is some racial difference in the amount of bilirubin excreted in the urine, meaning that some people probably secrete more through their sweat. There might also be differences in the amount of sex hormones excreted through sweat.
Now, the thing here is that this is a very subjective matter. Studies show that different people have different perceptions of the scents produced by hormones which are released into sweat. What is a "foul odor" to one person may be pleasant to another person. Most of the differences in body scents probably come from culture. People who live in different areas tend to eat different things and have different body odors.
Then there is the hygiene factor. People of all races and cultures will smell bad if they are sick or don't take care of themselves. Some people may confuse the conditions of poverty with race.
