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: John Ibbetsen is correct again, as usual.  Trump is an unmitigated disaster waiting to happen, and it's only going to get worse.  His childish ego and his cluelessness will wreck any good will the USA has left in the world.

SOLUTION: Non-identity-attack

PROBLEM: Comment: Ah, I get it now.  You actually have no idea what the NRA does, you just implied blacks are criminals, and you think a responsible gun owner is the same thing as a criminal in Detroit.

Perhaps we should start with getting you educated on these topics, first.  Then we can talk about my gun rights and why you think you know something about them.

SOLUTION: Identity-attack

PROBLEM: Comment: "Do you want my opinion on that? Do you really want it? I’ll give it to you. If Edward Snowden had worked for CSIS, and did what he did, he should be shot."

That wasn't an off-the-cuff remark. Mr. Doucet paused to think about what he was going to say, and then said what he really felt. He was well aware too that he wasn't speaking to a closed room of intelligence officers, but to young Canadians in a public setting. One hears more temperate remarks coming from US officials.

Whether or not Mr. Doucet would order or condone the murder of a whistleblower, his view is deeply troubling. As is his naivety in stating that a whistleblower should report malfeasance to his agency first. Edward Snowden knew that his entire agency, from the top down, was involved in unconstitutional surveillance activities. And that they'd been authorized to violate the constitution by their political masters. Taking his complaint up the chain of command would've been useless.

SOLUTION:
Non-identity-attack
