Aman,
I like your rephrasing. Good call on being more direct by using the word integrate.
I think that in general, our survey might be more interesting if we pursue a line of questioning that asks about something the respondents already know. By that I mean I don't think we should have to preface our questions with stats that might sway their responses. For example, if we decide to tell respondents that there are x number of immigrants every year, they might think it a huge number when in reality it could be low relative to other years/other countries etc. Our own biases tend to come through the more context we try to provide as a preface.
Thoughts?
