"Are the immigrants to my country from (COUNTRY) more likely (on average) to commit [1] a crime than the general population" is a very different question than "Is every immigrant from (COUNTRY) dangerous" The latter is bias, because if you meet a person you should judge them
by their own merits, and not by the ethnic/social slides they belong to. [1] Or rather, be sentenced for a crime, some we're talking about statistics. |

In any case, a 'yes' answer is just as much biased as a 'no' answer, but of course only one of them is considered biased by the test makers.
It's not a coincidence that of the many questions on that site, not a single one is "Is {GROUP_X} more likely than {GROUP_Y} to commit {CRIME_Z}". All the questions are carefully phrased so that they can pretend there are no measurable statistical differences between human groups.
