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: (cont'd.)
There are humane ways to control or redirect a cat's behavior in this regard. There is a reason most veterinarians will not perform this procedure except in cases of last resort, not first, and that some veterinary schools do not teach the procedure. The very fact that cats continue to try to scratch following this procedure should indicate to an intelligent person that they prefer to have their claws. And no one is asking an owner to choose between altering and declawing. One is necessary, the other is not.

I hope the reason the Post printed this letter is to show how ignorant some people actually are. I implore this letter-writer not to continue declawing just because that's what she's always done. The cats God has allowed to be in your care deserve better.

SOLUTION: Non-identity-attack

PROBLEM: Comment: So funny. Classical joke where blacks can't recognize a blackface actress. Proved whites ARE smarter than blacks. Made for good fodder for SNL.

SOLUTION: Identity-attack

PROBLEM: Comment: We understand why they THINK they are treated unfairly but are they really? If there were not so many black criminals, then they would not get 'profiled'.
1. With only 13% of the population, blacks commited 52% of homicides between 1980 and 2008, vs 45% for whites even though there are 5x more whites.
2. Between 2011 to 2013, 38.5% arrested for murder,manslaughter, rape, robbery and aggravated assault were black. That is 3x higher than the black population percentage. Worst yet, black males between 15-34 who are responsible for most of those crimes represent only 3% of the population.
3. Blacks, at 13% of the total population, commit about the same or greater number of crimes as whites, yet whites are TWICE as likely to be killed by police officers.

So, where is the injustice? Seems liked the brothers put the targets on themselves

They can't get work? how many bother to stay in school? how many have a work ethic? how many have clean record?
Welcome to the fruits of the Great Society.

SOLUTION:
Identity-attack
