The most common racist area is race. Hell, a blonde joke can be found racist. you are in effect saying bad things about people with blonde hair.
Still, I'd rather say his nick is offensive and not racist.

Being "Race"ist only depends on race.
rac·ism (rā'sĭz'əm) Pronunciation Key
n.
*The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others.
*Discrimination or prejudice based on race.
Blonde can relate to a race, but isnt a race. Age, gender, and sexual preferences do not involve race, thus are just discriminatory factors. Thats why there is racism, sexism, ageism, etc.
