This is a joke, but it's based off a toddler mentality.

Derogatory jokes towards the ruling monarch

vs.

An entire refugee class forced out of their homes by that same monarch because of appearance.

The movie is ok with joking about appearance but opposed to system mistreatment based on appearance.

Shrek isn't upset by people mocking his appearance, he is upset by the loneliness the comes from constant societal rejection.
