Didn't want to ask this question while "White Christmas" was still being voted upon because I didn't want to cheapen the question, but I'm curious since this was something I only learned about fairly recently: was anyone's votes against "White Christmas" to some extent inspired by the blackface involved in the movie where the song comes from?

I’ve never seen the movie where the song comes from, so no.

No. I think that very few people here have seen Holiday Inn. It's a good film but very of its time and it's just unwatchable in 2021 for incorporating vaudeville blackface in that scene.

White Christmas (the movie) is more or less a remake of Holiday Inn without the blackface, right? I've never seen HI but watch WC pretty much every year

Not really. They both feature inns, Bing Crosby and the song White Christmas.
Holiday Inn is about a musical performer (Bing Crosby) who retires to a farm in Connecticut after his fiance/partner (Virginia Dale) decides she doesn't want to retire and leaves him for their other partner (Fred Astaire). He has a nervous breakdown from trying to run a farm and decides to open it as an inn that is only open on federal holidays. There are songs for each holiday in that film, including the debut of White Christmas.
White Christmas is about two soldiers (Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye) who forge a successful musical partnership after the war. They discover that their former general is in dire straits trying to run an inn in ski country in Vermont during a green winter and set out to save Christmas.
(Both films feature romantic sub-plots. Marjorie Reynolds is in the first, Rosemary Clooney and Vera Ellen are in the second.)
We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.
