The problem is that it's there's no objective definition of racism, instead there are wildly different (and well-reasoned) positions. Some people think that even "believing" 'races' exist is racist, for starters. Perhaps even believing that someone could be justified in "believing" 'races' exist is racist in someone's mind. Then there's the whole debate about whether positive discrimination is racist or not, or if it's racist to prefer to have a relationship with one's "own race" etc. I guess the point thing is that racism is an extremely complex social issue with a lot of (well-argued) positions on a large number of questions.
On top of this, there's this idea of "subtle racism", which could include things that should be allowed if "suble racism" is defined by extremely politically correct people, or which could include only things that actually are racist according to some decent arguments.
