The statement that most demonstrates a negative bias is Statement 4: Most of the immigrants of the early 1900s were criminals  from the old country who couldn't be trusted.

Explanation:

The statement that most immigrants were criminals demonstrates negative bias because they are extending this concern to the whole immigrant population. It is not true that all of the immigrants were criminals and yet the person stated that all immigrants cannot be trusted. This is an example of stereotyping the immigrant population and of acting towards them with prejudice.  We should try to avoid biased and ethnocentric thinking when we interact with other groups as these stereotypes and assumptions can perpetuate inequalities and discriminatory behavior.
