It still surprises me how perpetuating this stereotype of rural poor conservatives is A-OK.

"This" stereotype?

  People who use the phrase “red-state cousin-humpers” are generally pretty stupid, but I’ll go ahead and try to explain it. The context of this discussion was large populations that might sustain a social network. Implying that people who engage in incest in states that have a majority of Republican voters in recent elections would be a large enough population to sustain a social network is obviously laughable in the literal sense (incest rates are minuscule). So that leaves the implication that a much larger population of “cousin-humpers” does exist and the association with “red-state” implies that cousin humping correlates with political views.

    Your comments reveal that YOU'RE a bigot, in addition to not even being the initial bigot. However, when it comes to cousin-humping, I'm going to double down on the assertion that red states win the contest. And hey, it turns out that I'm not the only one: https://www.thefreemanonline.org/what-state-has-the-most-incest https://www.thefreemanonline.org/what-state-has-the-most-inc... In case you're too lazy to click, here are the top 20: Kentucky, Maine, Delaware, Virginia, Maryland, Washington, Georgia, Oregon, Indiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, Tennessee, South Carolina, North Carolina, West Virginia, Montana, Alabama, and South Dakota. OWNED.

      You’re still too confused to understand why that doesn’t imply anything about red states as a general statement and wouldn’t be relevant for keeping a social network alive (what this thread is about). Here is an exercise for you. New Mexico is not a red state. What generalization do think was being made about “red-state cousin-humpers” that wouldn’t apply to the New Mexico cousin-humpers?
