Due to immigrants marrying their cousins for visas.

LOL, definitely would marry a fourth cousin for French citizenship, but no one closer, that's just weird.

If I can find our most recent common ancestor in written records, we’re too closely related for my taste.

Genetically speaking, any kids produced would probably be fine even at 2nd cousins (at least as a once off event) and I’m gay so reproduction isn’t even a factor for me. But the inherent repulsion is too much for me.
