A common misunderstanding. When the author writes "unbiased", they don't actually mean "unbiased", they mean "morally good".
The word "bias", like "discrimination", has gotten a bad reputation from all the ostensible anti-bias and anti-discrimination propaganda. What the author meant was that the opportunities are biased, but in a fair way that they approve of. To signal that approval, they use words you have been trained to associate with good, even when their meaning is the polar opposite of what they are describing.
