TASK DEFINITION: In this task, you are given a public comment from online platforms. You are expected to classify the comment into two classes: identity-attack and non-identity-attack. Identity attack refers to anything rude or disrespectful about someone's identity, including appearance, race, gender, and sexual orientation.
PROBLEM: Comment: Actually I think his reputation was already in the shitter long before he started dating Steve & Co.

SOLUTION: Non-identity-attack

PROBLEM: Comment: A large percentage of those "poorly educated" white folks in the Rust Belt that elected Trump are more comfortable being victims than taking responsibility for their choices in life. No one is profiling them. No one is trying to deport them. They get to vote if they want to. They are the only demographic dying younger and they are killing themselves with their behaviors. As technology and globalization make bigotry and racism less profitable, they refuse to change with the times. On some deep level they realize that merit and equality for all are social and economic demotions for them. They would rather die than admit this truth. Sadly, like they do in their families when they commit murder suicides, they want to take the rest of us down with them if they can't have their way. Then along came Russia with their boy Trump. They treat him like their savior. This even though he has never saved anyone but himself. Being ignorant is not a good strategy for success in the 21st century.

SOLUTION: Identity-attack

PROBLEM: Comment: People like you are why innocent people are put to death.

SOLUTION:
Non-identity-attack
