The analogy would be more correct if policy of dewhitinisation were declared in a state where whites have always been a majority. Donbass and Lugansk had been Russian for ages (Odessa, Kharkov and many more too btw), then a bunch of slack jawed yokels from the Bandera part of Ukraine came to teach them that their mother tongue was not the right language to speak on their own land. Imagine Texas where English is declared alien and is being phased out in favor of Spanish. Wouldn't that be a riot?
Actually, there was a riot. And declaration of independence of Texas, and, soon after that, American annexation of Texas and US-Mexico war.
But, looks like you are oversimplificating. Actually, Banderlogs (in the classic understanding of the term - "nationalistic guys from Galicia") are absolute minority in modern Ukrainian Nazi movement, what is even more important - they are the most stupid and obvious enemies. Nazies Type II and type III are much more interesting.

Nazification makes people think that they are not Russians and they should kill Russians.Oversimplificating, there were three main ideological waves of Ukro-Nazification (all three were based on factual bullshit and propaganda)
1. In the middle of XIX century, Austria after recognisition of Russia-created Czech threat, and understanding how powerful weapon could be "national-building" decided to make non-Russians from controlled by them part of Russian people (Galicians). So, they said - "You are not Russians, you are "Ukrainians" because you speak different language (not dialect of Russian). They sponsored making "Ukrainian language" from local dialect of Galician villagers. Really poor thing, practically useless for any purpose short of singing folk songs. What is even more important - for a poor and narrow-mind Galician villager everyone (including Moscowites, Jews, Poles and even "Ukrainians from Poltava") are aliens and Germans are "natural masters". One can use them for the violence and destruction, may be for some farming, but they can't make a tank or a gun. Really poor guys. Banderlogs or Raguls in the narrow meaning of the word. We can call it Ukronazism type I.
2. Second stage of Ukrainisation was Soviet. Extra-left communists government in 1920s saw "Great Russian Chauvinism" as the greatest threat for their national policy. You know, something like "positive discrimination" on steroids. Ukrainisation was a form of "rootinisation" and "nation-building" in Soviet Republics. So, they made "Derjavna Mova" (State's language) based not only Galician, but some other dialects, too. In fact, it, like Esperanto, is no one's first language. It is the language of bureaucratic features. State-loyal nazism is a form of loyalty to the state. "We are Ukrainians because our government said us that. We speak (sometimes), Ukrainian at job or because we demonstrate our loyalty to the current regime. It is so called "political Ukrainism" (or Ukronazism type II) and, say, Zelenskiy (Russian-speaking Jew) or Syrsky (ethnic Russian) are examples of that. After fall of the Soviet Union, political Ukrainism became just loyalty to pro-Western course.
3. Post-Soviet Ukrainian Neonazism, is a way to "Ukronazificate" mostly eastern, Russian-speaking population of the industrial, educated cosmopolitic Eastern Ukraine (Russians and "Russian-speaking Ukrainians"). Like, you know, Azov battalion/brigade/corps. It is classical western Neo-Nazism. You can't say to a man, speaking proper Russian language (usually even without any significant accent) that his language is not Russian. So, you tell him, that he is the only true Russian, while Moscowites are Mongols, Finno-Hungarians and Tatars and they are not Russians. Of course it is a lie and nazism in the modern Western understanding. We can call it Ukronazism type III.
