translation: There are people conjuring thoughts like “I’ve seen one too many brown people”.

Also unsurprising where the sentiment is coming from:

    Did you find something specifically that stated that children weren’t included in the data? I did not find anything like that in the sources.

    The link to the source from “Our world in data” mentions how children are included in their research, and they have a link to the UN migration spreadsheet that includes children of all ages: https://www.un.org/development/desa/pd/content/international-migrant-stock.

      I think they’re saying that children who are born in the new country should be counted as foreigners. Which is kinda fucked up but yea I don’t think they’re saying that children moving to a new country aren’t counted.

        Thanks for clarifying, I misunderstood what they meant.
