The word 'lynch' is racist when used to mean somthing other than "(of a mob) kill (someone), especially by hanging, for an alleged offense with or without a legal trial" (Oxford Languages). It was not something that only happened in America to people of color. It has happened elsewhere to others, and an attempt to cry 'racist' to that description of injustice is an attempt co-opt or diminish the suffering of those peoples.
