Use 「偏見」 for an unfair, discriminatory view, as in 「偏見を持つ」「人種的偏見」. For ideas formed in advance pick 「先入観」 (or the rarer written 「先入見」「先入主」), for wishful thinking 「思い込み」, for statistical or psychological bias 「バイアス」, for favoritism 「依怙贔屓」, and for fairness 「公正」. 「偏った考え」 is a plain phrase for one-sided thinking; 「偏り」 covers imbalance in general; 「不公平」 is unfair outcomes; 「偏愛」「偏好」 are likings; 「偏執」 is stubborn fixation; 「僻見」 is archaic; 「金平」 is a dish, not an antonym.
