A lot of deformities are genetic (not saying this one is) and therefore lie in a parent's (male or female, unless its sex-linked) genetic material. A lot of ethnic groups that promote copulation with only other persons of the same ethnicity (whatever it is. For example, in the indian community, there's a caste system a lot of people believe in which limits your mate selection to very few people. People of one caste can only marry people of that caste, which means people that have babies are closer and closer related) and this causes people with very similar gene pools to have sex, and kids.
This may seem ok but it's bad from a biological stand point because a lot of the genes that code for deformities are recessive. Recessive genes can be there, but not be seen. When two people that both have a recessive gene for a deformity mate (that means, they are carriers for the deformity/mutation, but they don't show it/have no signs that they have it) the chances that their kid will have the deformity are 1 in 4.
So anyways, if you were a northern indian person, marrying another northern indian person, your chances of getting an "indian type disorder" are higher than say, if you married a black person, because your gene pools are more similar to another person of the same race, there's a higher chance you will both have this recessive allele, and a 1 in 4 chance your kids will have it
Anyways, sorry for my longass reply .. I suck at summarizing things.

you really think ethnicities are as clear cut this? most, if not all people are products of hundreds of years of interbreeding

Just think if this was your baby. I doubt you would be acting all non chalant.
Hopefully the kid can get surgery because when he grows up he's gonna have to deal with looking disfigured.
This is directly correlated with China's horrendous environmental problems.
And I'm not talking about the main cities in shanghei and beijing.
The rural areas that the government don't give a shit about.
don't believe me? look at this picture.

Shit happens. Then you die. If you really care about the situation then go over there and do something about it. What good does it do to simply post a picture then whine about it? Posted via RS Mobile |

This is a charity I support: http://english.chinaconcern.org/
China's got a real bad habit of abandoning girls, the mentally and physically disabled.
This charity runs orphanages for those abandoned children.
