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.
Input: Comment: That was a weird comment.  It may be surprising news to you, but I was not alive during the civil war.  Moreover, I have never lived in a southern state.  I have no interest in promoting slavery - obviously.  Nevertheless, I must resist the liberal need to rewrite history and portray all southerners as racist proponents of slavery.  The civil war was a massive tragedy, which probably could have been avoided had cooler heads prevailed at the time or over time through negotiation.  From your comment, I suspect that you would be one of those raring to go to war and dispatch from life all those who disagree with you.
