okay, except the context is completely different.

blond hair doesn't have an "unprofessional" or "dirty" reputation. people with kinky hair are told their hair smells, that they should replace it with wigs/weaves (and are also shamed for wearing wigs/weaves), they're told wearing their hair naturally isn't suitable for a workplace, that they're dirty, that 90% of traditional hairstyles look "ghetto" and etc. your experience might have been out of novelty, for black men/women it's more like they're viewed as animals in a petting zoo.

For blonde women in Japan, the "animals in a petting zoo" analogy's actually pretty close. Animals or prostitutes, depending. The cultural baggage is different, obviously, but it's not a remotely complimentary or harmless thing.

That, and you get frequently insulted as a dirty gaijin, especially when people think you can't understand them.
