Question

一道托福阅读题，急求回答。

Since it was first diagnosed in 1981,AIDS has steadily spread into an epidemic across the US There are approximately 1 million Americans currently living with HIV. Those infections are unevenly distributed throughout society, however. African-Americans make up nearly 50％ of all cases of HIV, despite the fact that account for only 13％ of the population. The statistics for African-Americans women are particularly grim, with African-Americans making up 72％ of all female virus carriers. Infection rates among Latin-Americans, the other major minority group in America, are similarly lopsided.这是一道托福阅读词汇题，问lopsided是什么意思。我搞不懂的地方是：答案上说，从Those infections are unevenly distributed throughout society.一句可以看出传播是不均衡的，但是最后一句are similarly lopsided中的similarly是什么意思，什么是相似的呢。 我因为similarly的线索所以选择了discouraging但是答案应该是uneven。请问similarly该怎么解释

Answer 1

similarly 指同样地，类似地。因为前文作者一直在说HIV的distribution 不同，是uneven的是不均衡的，非裔美国人占了多数 。现在又在说拉丁裔美国人也是相似的lopsided。从作者的逻辑判断应继续表达uneven之意。

Answer 2

前文指非裔美洲人只占总人口的13%，艾滋病人的比例却占到50%，而其中72%的女性都是病毒携带者，因此极度不平衡，而后面说拉丁美洲，又一个美洲的少数民族，也一样遭遇着不平衡的。lopside就是倒向一边，也即uneven。
