One of the podcasts that I listen to has a Black host. She spent multiple eps around the start of the war talking with guests asking for their takes. What she kept coming back to was that Americans seemed to believe in supporting Ukraine because their population looked like white people in America.
I'd say she's right. White people in America could generally not give two shits about black and brown people in Africa. It's not right that it is that way, but it is that way.
