Liberalism is not actually impartial in theory or practice

Evidence

I think the best response to the objection that environmental foci, as goods, are not impartial is the argument that liberalism itself, in both theory and practice, is not neutral. Young, for example, argues that impartiality is an idealist fiction; it is impossible to adopt an unsituated point of view, and if a point of view is situated, then it cannot be universal (1990: 104). — David Schlosberg, Defining Environmental Justice, 357
