I may not be phrasing my question correctly, but here is what I am getting at.  Suppose you have ethnic group / relgious group "X", of which there are 100,000 members worldwide.  For the sake of argument, suppose that members of X have children only with other members of X.  Would there a be a point in time when members of X would become so inter-related that they would have to start having children with non-X people in order to prevent too many bad recessive genes from matching up?  Would the answer change if there were only 1,000 or only 10,000 members of X?

yes to both, just with the 100,000 population it would take much longer to reach that point
