I dont understand the question.. what does "is it ok to be white" actually mean?

This was my issue -- "okay" seems a synonym for "acceptable." And 47% of those polled saying that they cannot accept the existence of white people, taken at face value, would indeed be quite alarming. But, most people won't take it at face value, and those who responded to the survey didn't likely have this interpretation either. Adams fell right into the trap of responding to this sort of bait. Not that he'd ever ha…

26% I believe, not 47%. The rest said "unsure".

yeah my point exactly.. me saying "i don't understand the question so no idea" would be "unsure" in the Rassmussen world.

JK Rowling has been clear this is her stance with respect to her bizarre anti Trans stance.

She doesn't have a bizarre anti trans stance, that's made up and willfully repeated by a media that wants to stir up clicks. What she's said is that she supports trans people but has limits on what people are obliged to call/consider them, in terms of factual gender.

This isn't true. Her own words have questioned whether trans people exist and she has donated to anti-trans organizations.
