There is no such un-biased 'seeing'. All observation is, after all, theory-laden. But one can of course strive for objectivity.

Likewise, you can strip away the layer of "far-righter", as well as any other layers such as "Dentist", "brown person", "hipster", etc. You can even remove "human", because even that comes with baggage (though in practice it's usually not helpful to go beneath "primate").

This is of course the best case scenario for having a bias. There are far worse -- and more common -- biases based on one's inherent prejudices such as political views. These apply an extra layer on almost everything you see, causing you to search for things that are not there.
