Obviously in America it does. It's just that that exchange went as follows:

You lynched them.
Race.
I wasn't even referring to race.
Right, but race.
I was going by the definition, not the connotations.
Fine then, race and gender.

Lynching isn't the word I would have used. For one, you kind of need a lynch mob for that. And from the sounds of things event staff were pretty much going by the policy of "inappropriate statements are inappropriate".

In any case, while reporting things you think are wrong is perfectly fine, all that takes is a word in the right ear. Between event staff (in this case), HR, and corporate officers, the system is more than capable of responding. There comes a point at which all your outrage serves no more purpose than to direct attention at you and cow those around you. That social control is certainly a feature shared by lynching, and in that sense it wasn't poor usage.
