How to use "Disproportionate" in context?
When the government implements policies that target certain social groups more severely than others, this is called "disproportionate" or "unjust" targeting. Disproportionate targeting can occur when the government implements policies that disproportionately affect groups that are already disadvantaged, such as people of color, low-income individuals, and the LGBT community.
Disproportionate targeting can also occur when the government implements laws or funding that disproportionately affect certain groups. For example, the government may provide less funding to schools that have a higher percentage of students from low-income families, or it may restrict access to health care for certain groups.
