This is when your biases are walking uninvited into a discussion about data.
- Exofunctor 10y agoPointing out that religious fundamentalists don't integrate well is not a good example of "bias".
- kaveh_h 10y agoThat you believe a majority are religious fundementalist is bias

- SamBam 10y agoAnd can you tell me what makes someone a refugee? Whether an average refugee is ideologically/culturally identical to the average non-refugee from that country? And how about a refugee who's choosing to go live in a country very different from their own? Pointing us to "per-country religious belief surveys" is incredibly simplistic.
