What does? Studying it in a highly biased collegiate environment where wrongthink on the matter isn't permitted?
Basically, yeah. Your own personal experiences don't necessarily reflect the reality of an issue that affects millions more accurately than the data you're discrediting. It's not the data that's biased, it's you. And it's not just you, it's literally everyone. We're all biased and it's driven by our perception of our own personal experiences, especially when the experiences are not recent. The only thing you can do is be conscious of it and factor it into your thought process. You do the exact opposite.
