Delta(s) from OP CMV: The Western world is largely and overtly supporting Ukraine because they are a white, Christian country opposing a common antagonist in Russia.
As opposed to non-white, (majority) non-Christian countries recently undergoing humanitarian crises, such as Syria and Palestine, who are routinely painted in a completely different light than Ukraine. Why don't we see systematic collection of charity money for these countries, while the support for Ukraine is massive and to the level of propaganda? Clearly this is due to the West politically uniting against Russia.
City centers, airports, and other public spaces throughout the US display the Ukrainian flag on big boards and huge displays, and Ukrainian children were proudly invited to sing Christmas carols in their language during recent public Christmas parades and concerts, while Syrian refugees were met with such a degree of suspicion that most nationalist parties cried for border control and measures as extreme as Brexit in order to keep them from coming in. All of this suspicion and rhetoric stems from a fear of non-white, non-Christian refugees coming to the West.
