Reading this article, if anything they are actively being more kind to the Ukrainians then racist. The law exists for people who are non-Western and need to adapt and integrate into Danish society. This is to prevent the development of parallel societies (like you might see in Sweden). The exemption for the Ukrainians is to say the government feels they will integrate fine even if they do end up in their own neighborhoods. I see no issue here

Honey, maybe if these two groups of immigrants behaved in the same manner, they wouldn’t have to be dealt with differently.
In other words – Try to burn the Bible in the middle of a Ukrainian majority neighborhood, then do the same with Quran in Muslim majority neighborhood. See the difference for yourself.
*The neighbourhoods targeted have more than 1,000 residents and more than half of residents are of “non-western” origin. They must also meet two of four criteria: more than 40% of residents are unemployed; more than 60% of 39- to 50-year-olds have no upper secondary education; crime rates are three times higher than the national average; and residents have a gross income 55% lower than the regional average.*
Honestly, any neighborhood that has 2 out of 4 of these sounds like… a ghetto. It’d be nice if some of these people howling “racism!!” would better spend their energy addressing why such neighbourhoods exist and what to actually DO about them.
“Throw those refugees out on the streets to prove you re not racist 🤦♂️
It is regardless of the justification tbh.
Being more kind to some, doesn’t automatically mean being more racist against others.
