I don't really believe in the inbreeding bit myself
but it seem to make sense that this is why they hate each other- they perceive their neighbors as having a certain set of repellent characteristics that they themselves lack, but the neighbors think that the repellent characteristics belong to the first group.

It's all very confusing to me, really. I can't tell the difference at a glance between a Belgian, a French person or a Dutch person. Greeks and Italians look similar to me. Spanish look a lot like them as well to my eyes. Iranians could blend into that crowd as well. All of them have different habits than I do. Yet each of these groups would set themselves apart from the others on some basis or another, and consider me a dolt for not seeing the obvious.

It makes my head hurt.
