Not weird at all. Cousin marriage in many cultures is considered ideal (like Arab cultures) and the those at the forefront of genetic relationships are starting to find out that "inbreeding" is produces children more likely to have weak genes if you have generally week genes but stronger genes if you have generally good genes. So basically out taboo about "inbreeding" is mostly based on our ignorance of how it actually works. What you're talking about, a girl that REMINDS you of your sister, is a product of this taboo being taken waaaay too far. Relax, your fine.
Actually, inbreeding produces the effects, even if the parents' genes are relatively strong. It's the lack of diversification in the genes, as well as some more complicated genetic causes, which cause the inbreeding effects.
However that's not what the topic is about. The topic at hand is whether it's ok to have a crush on someone who reminds you of your sister, and the answer I'd give is yes, so long as you're not using her as some sort of proxy for some seriously squicky unresolved feelings for your sister. Otherwise, it's perfectly normal.
omg i can't believe what i have just read. The south is strong in this one. But yes you make a point about the crush. Absolutely nothing wrong with it.
