Ah, I see what you did there. You confused the words "vile and disgusting" with the correct terminology which would have been "well informed, and scientifically accurate".
Its an easy mistake to make...

The benefit of outbreeding
Broken genes are usually rare, so to inherit two broken copies of the same gene is unlucky and can result in serious health problems. However, the chances increase considerably if your parents are related. With more genes that are identical by descent, a child will have more genes where both copies are broken.
If inbreeding is bad, outbreeding, marrying an extremely unrelated partner, should be good for the same reason. With a less related partner, the number of genes in your children that are identical by descent is reduced, and with it the chance that a gene has two broken copies. It is not that your children will inherit fewer broken copies in total, just that every broken copy has a much better chance of finding itself partnered with a good copy.

Well... I know what I know, because I did my research. You have the internet in front of you. Do some of your own.
The horse is at the water. I would hope it is not afraid to drink.

Are you being deliberately obtuse?
If you really think that the issue of skin colour is important, then you may well need a wake up call. This here is the twenty first century. Im all for tradition, but if you are so obsessed with skin colour, you might want to wake up and smell the millenium you are in, rather than clinging to the worst , and most pointless obsessions of the last one.
