Abstract

arXiv:2605.22081v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present ArabDiscrim, a decade-long lexical resource and corpus of 293K public Arabic Facebook posts (2014--2024) discussing racism and discrimination. Unlike existing Twitter-centric datasets, ArabDiscrim integrates platform-native engagement signals, including reactions, shares, comments, and page metadata, enabling joint analysis of language and audience response. The resource includes 200 curated terms (100 racism-related and 100 discrimination-related) with morphological regex families (13+ inflections per lemma), and 20 discrimination axes capturing identity-based grounds for unequal treatment. It also provides explicit attribution patterns. Released under a restricted research-use license for ethical compliance with platform terms, ArabDiscrim supports weak supervision, axis-aware sampling, and platform ecology research. By bridging lexical depth and ecological validity, it establishes a foundation for fairness-oriented, platform-aware Arabic NLP.
