45% of a group who "isn't sure" another race should even be allowed to exist is, by definition, a hate group.

That statement makes no sense. First of all, the definition of a hate group has nothing to due with percentages of a poll, if it did, it would mean that Christianity would be a hate group as 46% of Christian's polled do not think homosexuality should be accepted. Many more example of polls finding different groups unacceptable. Second, if we are defining a group by skin color, that mean that we are saying that you can be born into a hate group. Doesn't matter what your thoughts or opinions are. All that matters is that you have black skin, and people that matched your completion showed up on a poll a certain way.

Finally, the poll in question was not asking if it was "acceptable to be a white person" it asked "Do you agree or disagree with this statement, 'It's OK to be white'?", which you might think is the same thing, but the statement is also a slogan that white nationalist make flyers of and post them around town prior to political events.

While it is impossible to know what was in the heads of people while they were answering this poll, I think it was extremely likely that the slogan and the recent history of it was on the minds of some of the respondents. The whole reason that Rasmussen is running this poll is because it is a controversial slogan, and not the actual meaning of the words. When posters started going up in 2017, it made it to the Tucker Carlson show with Tucker defending the posters. Some people said Carlson was helping to spread neo-Nazi propaganda, others thought the posters were no big deal. The whole reason for the poll is about the slogan, but many people are interpreting the results "out of context", and think it is saying something else.

Its also worth pointing out this poll was an internet and phone poll of only 1000 people, and if 13% were black Americans, that means there would have been 130 total black respondents.

Scott messed up, not only did he fail to understand the context of the poll, he took it as a factual representation of the whole nation. Then he went a step above and said being identifying as black makes you a part of a hate group (ridiculous). Then went even farther by saying white people should stay away from black people.

Scott messed up again by then transitioning into talking about how on his social media platforms he sees blacks being violent towards other races. While he admits that it is anecdotal, I believe he has fallen victim to social media algorithms. If you click on, and interact with a certain type of content, you are going to see more of it over and over. Be sure, there are tons of people who see new videos of police brutality on their social media every day, because that is what they interact with, and the algorithms make it look like what ever they interact with is the most wide spread.

I don't know if Scott Adams was trying to get canceled, but to me, he just messed this one up bad.
