:::It is intended to attack and denigrate a group of people here, and not really give us any better understanding of the problem of inbreeding. While this group may serve as an example, there is little or no discussion of what inbreeding is and what the potential problems are regarding it. The article singles out this group of families without providing any context whatsoever before hand. That's why I say ''intent''. [[User:RobS|RobS]] 17:35, 17 April 2007 (EDT)

== Yikes, where to begin? ==
Inbreeding is '''not''' "the act of sexual intercourse among members of an immediate family." Perhaps someone is confusing it with "incest?"
Is it asking too much for people to at least check a dictionary before writing definitions? AHD, for example has:
:1. The breeding of related individuals within an isolated or a closed group of organisms or people. 2. The continued breeding of closely related individuals so as to preserve desirable traits in a stock.[http://www.bartleby.com/61/69/I0076900.html]
