Do we also need different words for people who are racist against different groups of people for different reasons, rather than just label them "racist"?

Yes, it's useful to make distinctions between things that have meaningful distinctions.

Conflation of everything into the same macro terms has hindered society.

If we are talking about racism, we should have a different term for "racist" when we are talking about somebody assaulting somebody just because of their race, vs Community having an episode where Chang wears black makeup to play a dark elf.

Or at the very least we should be able to distinguish between the two.

Maybe it's falling out of fashion, but I believe nuance matters a lot. Viewing the world too reductively IMO makes society much dumber/worse.
