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.
One example is below.
Q: Comment: It's bad enough we already have all these American sicko's living in this country shooting up theatre, schools, churches, malls, etc., we don't have room for crazy muslims.
A: Identity-attack
Rationale: This comment contains identity attacks on both American and Muslim.
Q: Comment: As a PC supporter dumb choice. For starters he is way too young. Yes we need to bring younger supporters into politics, but 19 is the time to be learning the ropes, not running for MP, he can do that later. Niagara West-Glanbrook is a fairly safe PC riding thus I suspect he will probably win but if it becomes more about candidate rather than opinion of Wynne government or voting for party could be bad news. At least a by-election loss would get rid of this guy which I think the PCs could do better without in the long-run. By contrast in Ottawa-Vanier (a riding they are unlikely to win) they actually have a very strong candidate.
A:
Non-identity-attack
