Regular reminder that rates of incest are much higher in Arabic groups.
More directly related, all the 'southern' incest is due to to blacks living there, as blacks have massive rates of incest.
In their defence (sort of) it's hard to keep track of family ties when so many women have so many "baby daddies". If the "sperm donors" get around to many women without anyone keeping track, it's far too easy for half-siblings and cousins to end up together in one great, big, incestuous community.
Comment Reported for: Rule 16 - Identity Attacks
Comment Approved: Rates of incest are not an identity attacks. However, whites in the south also had higher than average rates of incest, and is one of the reasons 1st cousin marriage was legal in many states both during Jim Crow and in the Antebellum period.
New York Jewish populations have taken first-cousin marriage to levels capable of producing new hereditary conditions almost completely exclusive to that city.
I don't know what it is about desert-dwellers forming enclaves in lusher lands that produces staggering rates of inbreeding. You don't see those problems in Chinatown or Little Italy.
You can get the dwellers out of the desert but you can’t get the desert out of the dwellers.
