The context is the experience of the minorities who come from communities hurt by this and may also be reading here. Such a person might look at it (a group of mostly white people making light of lynching here), and put it in their context (decades of experience with their culture being hurt and violently repressed by groups of white people who liked lynching) and not feel quite so safe or welcome. Remember, lynching was a mechanism of control to keep minorities well behaved. The senate only apologized for lynching in the US in 2005 (too many republicans objected before that). There was a lynching in 1998, not to mention several more recent gay bashings that meet the criteria of lynching. It still happens. The relevant context isn't mine or yours, it's the minorities. Take a damn sensitivity class. This is controversial?
