1I think the noun form – favoritism – is better to describe this situation. One dictionary defines it as: the practice of giving unfair preferential treatment to one person or group at the expense of another.– J.R. ♦Commented Jun 9, 2018 at 20:13
There is also the expression playing favorites.
They are playing favorites.
