Answer 1

No, it's totally different. In English it means the color of hair of a girl, but usually here in Spain the term "Rubia" is used to insult or annoy a girl by her lack of intellect.

Answer 2

No, terms like "rubia" has two meanings I could use it to insult you or not.
You could use curse words to call your friends and they know you are not insulting them.
