It's just easier for everyone here to understand one another.

Prrreeeeety sure Racism isn't just about race, it's about the color of your skin (race) religion and the country you come from and I could have sworn it was language too

No racism is purely based on the color of your skin. Language is part of a culture but anyone can learn a language. It is just to help promote the community. A community thrives if everyone speaks the same language.

racism is ethnicity, which can or can not be related to skin colour (skin color is the easiest to determine indicator of ethnicity at a glance).. But you could hate greek people, but not italians, and their skin is basically the same color, and that would be racist.

Every definition I can find says it is by skin color. How are you going to determine the difference? People who make such a statement would actually lump together Greeks and Italians in whatever way they wanted.
