People don't need to feel intimidated or condescended to (and I know you aren't talking about yourself). I can't control how someone else feels about a general statement.

I agree with you that it's important to define our terms for any discussion, but the use of shorthand doesn't constantly require us to shift the sands of the debate or give a brief, incomplete educational sermon on what is or isn't "racism" in the classical sense, does it?

The definitions have been discussed at length on Greek Chat. If that weren't true, the "shorthand" wouldn't really be relevant.
