Is it illegal in West Virginia to eat caviar while driving a Ferrari, reading The Economist, and flossing their teeth? Why isn't that illegal? It's because nobody in WV eats caviar, drives a Ferrari, reads, nor practices dental care. So there is no need to tie up legislation and pass that type of law there.

Likewise, in states like NY, Hawaii, and California, nobody marries their first-cousin. Therefore, it is a waste of time, money, and resources to make things that nobody does illegal.

On the other hand, there is a reason why states like WV, Mississippi, Arkansas, Kentucky, Wyoming, Idaho, the Dakotas, etc. have made it illegal. It's because they had to stop their own people from doing that shit. The fact that you and Crispy Lips have recently Googled where it is legal to marry your cousin speaks volumes.

You do realize that Hawaii is literally the most inbred state there is, don’t you? People stuck on small assed islands with not much of a choice until the evil white man arrived.

So you banged your cousin but it was legal?

This thread is confusing. I always thought we Appalachian Americans slept with and married our sisters. That's why I was a virgin until I turned 34. All I had was three ugly brothers.

Nope. Guess again. Eastern Kentucky is the mecca, and not coincidentally, it also borders West Virginia.

When I was 13, I saw an older cousin for the first time since I was a very young child. She was 20 or 21 and a waitress at Hooters (Middle Class Murox has instant wood now) in Lakeland, Florida. I was ready to join you hillbillies and inbreed. The Detroit Tigers had Spring Training in Lakeland, and she got to know a lot of them quite well. I'm guessing she was sweet Lou Whitaker's sidepiece before being pushed over to Cecil Fielder.

Lack of Genetic Diversity

I keep telling people that when it comes to Polynesian DNA, we lack genetic diversity. People erroneously use “pedigree collapse”, or the more blunt “inbred” when referrin…

Now that Polynesians are getting DNA tested, we come up as 1st, 2nd or 3rd cousins for the most part, usually sharing more than 50cM, sometimes as high as 500cM and with multiple segments, which they say is consistent with an endogamous group. In particular are the high shared percentages among Maoris of New Zealand and Kanaka (Maoli) of Hawai’i.
