Waseem Racism and Sexism on Twitter Dataset

Dataset of racist and sexist tweets sampled from Twitter and labelled first by experts (including feminist and anti-racist activists), and then by CF amateur annotators who re-annotated them. No IRR tests for the Experts as they are treated 'as a single entity'. (139). Annotator agreement is Kappa of 0.57 for CF amateur annotations.
