I had absolutely ZERO idea Lynch could be contrued as a racist word. No I do live in Canada but also a part that has its own race problems. However there is not much history of hanging people either. perhaps its just a cultural thing
I have used the term and the Term Lynch Mob. Wow I guess it turned into a big deal

GOLF CHANNEL Suspends Anchor for Remark
By GOLF CHANNEL Newsroom - January 09, 2008
Editor's Note: The GOLF CHANNEL released the following statement on Jan. 9th:
The GOLF CHANNEL regrets the poorly chosen remarks made by Kelly Tilghman on a recent broadcast and, again, extends our apologies to anyone who was offended.
There is simply no place on our network for offensive language like this.
While we believe that Kelly's choice of words were inadvertent and that she did not intend them in an offensive manner, the words were hurtful and grossly inappropriate.
Consequently, we have decided to suspend Kelly for two weeks, effective immediately.
