Portuguese here. I don't think we have that at all. I guess rural areas in general get that wrap a little bit but not really.

Portuguese immigrants in Canada from mainland Portugal say this about people from the Azores. I heard it a lot growing up.

Oh I'm Azorean so maybe that's why I didn't think of that... We're not inbred!!!!

Rest assured, I'm from Lisbon and all family is as well. I never thought of any place in Portugal as "inbred" (other stereotypes apply to different regions though). Love the Azores, btw.
