A few things:
1) Technically, they ARE the same thing. They are both forms of intolerance. But, I know what you're trying to say. They are not equivocally bad things.
2) (more like 1b) Like being prejudiced, being intolerant in some instances is actually okay. The problem is that many are so quick to judge and they stick to such a narrow viewpoint that when they show any form of intolerance (even to something most reasonable people would agree we shouldn't tolerate), they appear hypocritical.
3) The issue is that many people are quick to label issues or people they disagree with as racist or hate speech.
