The idiom "to have a jaundiced eye" means to be prejudiced.

It is used to describe someone who views something with suspicion or distrust. The idiom is thought to have originated from the medical condition jaundice, which causes the whites of the eyes to turn yellow. This yellow color was thought to be a sign of ill health or disease, and so the idiom came to be used to describe someone who was not healthy or well-disposed.
