I think the problem as posed, and the vocabulary being banished, are unique to the US, though of course racism and discrimination are not.

If I think of other major racial or ethnic conflicts of the recent times (Israel/Palestine, Rohingya in Asia, Balkan genocides, Hutu vs Tutsi, antisemitism, tensions between “original” and “migrant” societies in Europe), none of them are covered by the language being banished here.

Also, the immediate searching for racial undertones in any phrase seems to be a purely American thing.
