No doubt that people who use "racism" in the narrower sense are less likely to agree about the extent of racism and its effects, but cause and effect are not simply there. There is a powerful (exculpatory) instinct to want to talk about racism as malign intent. Once you do that, it's hard to find other good language to talk about systemic and hegemonic bias and discrimination, and it's easy to shout about whether someone has malign intent.
