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: Yes, No Aloha Kealoha has been protected by his cronies for a long time which is
why the selection of a new chief who is not connected to his old boy network is so
important. Loretta Sheehan is the only one on the Commission who is doing her best
to keep things on the up and up. The others are useless and not competent to be on
the Commission. Even Levinson who is the most recent appointee and has a long legal background and was on the State Supreme Court has as I kind of expected, not done
very much to help Sheehan.
I suspect he was put on the Commission to put the brakes on Sheehan but I will
wait to see how things go before making a final decision on that.
Answer:
Non-identity-attack
