Whiteness is conditional, but part of the framing Putin has sought to sow here is that a Jew (Zelensky) is nefariously keeping a white nation (Ukraine) from its rightful white (Putin) rule

Don't know USA, but here in Spain before the war there was no difference between Ucranians and Romanians.
And Romanians have been always seen through a high racist lens, specially at rural Spain.
(I know the change is not the point of the thread, but given the russian drive to call Ukrainians Nazis is now aided and abated by the US, I think updating this perception is important)
Not particularly successfully, but it was a thing.
It's been a minute since we've seen him around, it seems...
