I definitely empathize with Zymologist's concern. I have in mind one person in particular who likes to complain that nobody is willing to talk about race... yet this person will jump down the throat of anybody who misses the slightest nuance or uses a word or phrase incorrectly. It should be no surprise to them that people are unwilling to have these discussions.
In general my rule of thumb is "be polite" and "use common sense" and I think any reasonable person will think you're doing fine. You won't please everybody.
