You may think it's amusing, but you're in the east. Poland had a massive demonstration at the weekend, so did Berlin. In the UK a few people turned up in Trafalgar square, and wasn't there a survey posted on here where over 60% think we shouldn't get involved? Hardly anyone gives a fuck about Ukraine, unless their cleaner is upset...
And the liberal, artsy types I follow in the USA, are totally ignoring the situation, or if anything stating the hypocrisy of the west, and even mentioning USA - Iraq/Afghanistan.And I'm a right-on lefty, who is pissed that there's still a thread on here enabling cheap products from China for people who happily ignore the human rights abuses going on in that country.

I agree with you on the thing that the further everyone is from the war, the less they care about it. It's logical.
But I don't think it has anything to do with the skin colour. There were some issues at the border where they wouldn't let people of colour pass but I think it might've been a problem of paperwork (nationality other than Ukrainian etc).
Even if it was racism related which it might as well be (we in eastern Europe are not that much exposed to multiculturalism) but let's not lose the main focus here - we see our neighbour getting slaughtered by a psychopath and if we don't do anything about it, we better hope the psychopath doesn't come down knocking on our doors any time soon.
