They both pick on visible groups. Do blondes call people who make these jokes bigots?

I don't think most blondes would know what a Bigot is. *I'm priceless, and probably going to get reported for this*
Well, blonde is hair color...and in the end they know its a joke, who knows, could really be true! But racial jokes can really cause problems. A blonde can laugh it off, not getting it or saying "ahhh clever" but you say a racist joke to someone who gets offended- you'll get punched.

Blond jokes are much more relaxed because everyone knows that not ALL blonds are dumb, just like in Mexico they all make jokes about gallegos (no blonds in Mexico) they just are using some stereotype to tell a joke about. It makes it thus harmless.
But racial jokes go a little deeper and are designed to hurt. And to pin-point certain unique characteristics of the people, whether Indians, Blacks, Gringos etc. The point is that people haven't realized that not all Mexicans wear sombreros and that not all Germans are Nazis. And not all Jews are filled with avarice. (JUST EXAMPLES).

I see where you are going with this...blond people can't go into a store without security all over them. Blonds needed affirmative action to get a job. There is also that injustice when a cop pulls one over for DWB (Driving while Blond)...not to mention a history of segregation and attacks by the KKK just for being Blond.
yeah, right...
I only feel sorry for Blonds when Rod Stewart is single..

People who try to equate blonde hair or any other feature with low intelligence are ignorant. It's NOT different from racist jokes and I always take offense. People have said to me "oh it's not like i expected you to be smart, you're just a blonde".
Replace blonde with black and people would have sh*t fits.

The difference between racial jokes and blond jokes is that everyone knows blond jokes are just for fun.
Need proof?
How often do you see people frizzing their hair and taking melanin so they are black?
How often do you see people dyeing their hair blond?

The nice thing about hair is that its color can be changed.
