Part 1. 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.
Part 2. Example
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.
Answer: Identity-attack
Explanation: This comment contains identity attacks on both American and Muslim.
Part 3. Exercise
Comment: Homosexuality is a grievous sin and should not be tolerated by any Catholic. It is quite clear about the sinful nature of the practice in the Bible. If you want a more relaxed/looser approach to God's law then there are many protestant assemblies that condone the practice. If a homosexual (or homosexuality apologist) cannot recognise it as mortal sin and/or obstinately refuse to repent and remain celibate, then the Catholic Church is not for you.
Answer:
Identity-attack
