I don't think I've ever heard the word "lynch" used other than in the context of lynchings of blacks. Otherwise, don't most people use the word "hang"? When someone commits suicide, they don't "lynch themselves". When someone is given the death penalty, its not "death by lynching".

I'm not big on political correctness, but I don't see how you can interpret this as anything other than a racial slur, whether she was joking or not.
