Any finite sampling of any distribution (biased or not) can show bias. A feasible process that doesn't introduce or exagerate bias is the biggest problem when trying to get representative statistics.

And bias can certainly be of different magnitude. A weighted dice can have a bias that shows up after only 10 rolls and another one can only show it's bias after 1000.
