How it's used
偏頗 carries a formal or intellectual tone, often used in professional, academic, or critical contexts to describe an argument or judgment that lacks objectivity. While it describes a lack of fairness, it is more specific than simply saying unfair, as it implies a deliberate or unconscious tilt toward one side of an issue.
Examples
What he says is very biased, completely ignoring the facts.
Do you think this decision is a bit biased?
