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: According to Wikipedia, Milo Yiannopoulos is just 32 years old. I think he'll probably spend a good part of his life regretting that he cooperated in his own exploitation by the right-wing nuts at Breitbart and elsewhere. But you are absolutely right: protesting what he says is one thing; preventing him from saying it, especially the use of violence, is another. He should have been allowed to speak; and those who committed acts of violence to prevent him from speaking should be prosecuted as the thugs they are.
Answer:
Non-identity-attack
