Everyone from the mayor of N.O. to Jesse Jackson to most of the major media outlets have claimed that "hateful white folks" are not helping victims. So there are are great number of people who, [i]at the very least/i] believe that everyone who doesn't help is a hateful callous racist. So I don't know how you could have a poll and not have that as an option, when so many people claim that is the only reason people are not helping. You are absolutely right in saying that response is ignorant, which is exactly why it is worded the way it is, because someone who would legitimately use that as their reason would say it pretty much as worded in the poll (except maybe laced with profanity and the "word that shall not be named").
