    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.

        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

        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!”

        That doesn’t matter. The comparison is Alabama:rest of the USA, not Alabama:Europe

          True, I do think it’s weird they chose Louisiana for the incest part, but I guess that’s just their geography skill

            I mean, yeah, they boiled down all of the SE to Florida and incest lol. I don’t think the map is supposed to be exactly accurate. And they’re not THAT far from Alabama all considered.
