biased

biased adjective a biased view of the situation: prejudiced, partial, partisan, one-sided, blinkered, subjective; bigoted, intolerant, discriminatory, racist, racialist, sexist, heterosexist, homophobic, chauvinistic, chauvinist, anti-Semitic; jaundiced, distorted, warped, twisted, skewed; French parti pris. ANTONYMS unbiased, impartial, fair. CHOOSE THE RIGHT WORD biased, prejudiced, partial These words all denote a tendency to be unfairly or irrationally opinionated in favour of or against people or groups. ■ Someone who is biased is predisposed to make judgements in favour of or against someone or something, typically because of some emotional commitment rather than because of any rational consideration. The resulting judgements are generally unfair or inaccurate (do you think the police in the area are biased against young people? | maybe he was biased, but he thought his daughter was the best player ). ■ Prejudiced describes someone who brings a ready-made opinion, especially a value judgement, to some question or issue, without consideration of the actual facts. This opinion is likely to affect their other judgements and attitudes, too (William's grandad was prejudiced against Americans ). It is much more common to be prejudiced against someone or something than prejudiced in favour of them. ■ Partial can be used to mean ‘unjustly weighted in favour of one side ’, but often lacks the implication of injustice (he was partial only in so far as he took a stand against conservatism ). Although impartial is a more common word than unbiased or unprejudiced, partial in this sense is relatively uncommon. These notes show fine distinctions in meaning between closely related synonyms to help you find the best word.
