I'd just like to point out that some European countries have higher rates of incest than the US.
Cousin marriage is also illegal in much of the US while it is legal in much of Europe.
In fact, if this is to be believed (not a clue how accurate this is), Spain, Portugal, and Italy (as well as Canada and Mexico) have higher rates of incest than any single state in the United States.
This is totally believable, but Europeans don't think that America is more incestuous than Europe. They think that that part of America is more incestuous than the rest of America.
I'm curious if that's based on truth or just yeehaw gottem
I always heard the "US has more laws against cousin marriage" as "we had to introduce full on laws because y'all wouldn't stop fucking your cousins!"
Good question but I do know that there are a few towns in Vermont populated by solely one family making me quite surprised it's Alabama that is the incest state and not Vermont I'd gladly take the title of desolate maple state over I fucked my mom state
