Axiocentric
A person who judges others by their values rather than their labels.
An axiocentric individual doesn't care what race you are, what religion you follow, where you were born, who you vote for, how much money you make, or what social group you belong to. They care about whether you're honest, loyal, accountable, compassionate, and whether your actions match your principles.
While others ask, "What are you?" an axiocentric person asks, "What do you stand for?"
Axiocentric: Judge me by my values, not by my categories.
Origin: From the Greek axios ("worth" or "value") and centric ("centered on").

"He's not racist, sexist, classist, or nationalist. He's axiocentric. Show him your character and he'll decide for himself."
