unbiased
Without any prejudice
Unbiased means free from prejudice or favoritism—fair and impartial.
An unbiased judge considers only the evidence.
An unbiased sample in statistics represents a population without systematic distortion.
The word implies objectivity, though true neutrality is often harder to achieve than claimed: We need an unbiased opinion.
