The research is based on 145 individuals from three cemeteries.

Hardly a sufficient number to reach this conclusion:
The research concluded that higher death rates amongst people of colour and those of black African descent was a result of the "devastating effects" of "premodern structural racism" in the medieval world.

I would suspect that the researchers were predisposed to finding a certain conclusion and stopped digging when they found a number to support their predisposition. Those 3 cemeteries could have been in predominately black areas.

Yeah, in the 1300s! London's predominantly Black areas! Sure! Probably very close to the predominantly East Indian neighborhoods of 14th-century London!
