.@LordBromley it's not an unusual pattern that muslim immigrant groups marry cousins at higher rates than those back home...
.@LordBromley ...not sure if this a genuine pattern, or has something to do with *which* subgroups have immigrated (eg. mirpuri pakistanis).
@hbdchick inbreeding is an Arab/South Asian Muslim thing. I don't think Indonesians or Malaysians do it
@LordBromley absolutely. altho i think that perhaps some subgroups of arabs/south asians do it more than other. this, then...
@hbdchick @LordBromley is related to the visa issue. Less time to look / more pressure to help family member out
@un_pellegrino yes. but still not sure if studies re. this issue have considered subgroup migration. i will check! (^_^) @LordBromley
@hbdchick it's the only way to preserve those good looks!
