How would shit have played out if he wasn't extremely racist?
Say, he was moderately xenophobic instead and restores the Prussian policy of Germanising the slavs and jews instead of killing them.

People generally didn't care about racism back then. The racial ideas that the Nazis put forward were actually very popular and they have many supporters throughout the world and especially the USA. Everything changed after Pearl Harbor happened and Germany declared war on the US.
Then he wouldn't have been Adolf Hitler.

His racist views led to the ideals of Lebensraum

And by Lebensraum I mean the type of Lebensraum that involved gassing all of the slavs
The Russians fought so tenaciously because they knew what would happen to them if Germany won
Hitler chose the Jews just to ride an already existing prejudice. Had he risen in the American South he would have called for the Final Solution To The Negro Problem.

He had weird ideas about agriculture which basically said "we need a shitload more land otherwise we won't be able to support our growing population and we'll starve to death."
He outlined this in his book. To be fair he was right about a critical need for more land, or at least he would have been if the green revolution hadn't come along and solved the problem.

Germany was agriculturally backward and didn't effectively exploit its farm land. The protestant agrarian population were key supporters of the Nazis

>As Hitler himself knew, there was a political alternative to ecological panic and state destruction: the pursuit of agricultural technology at home rather than Lebensraum abroad. The scientific approach to dwindling resources, which Hitler insisted was a Jewish lie, in fact held much more promise for Germans (and for everyone else) than an endless race war.

Or because the commissars would shoot them if they refuse to fight for Stalin.

You could just as easily flip it around and say American GI's only fought so they wouldn't be jailed for desertion. It wasn't true in either case.
