Slavery as a concept has nothing to do with American racism or American history. Slavery existed long before America was a dirty thought in a pilgrim's hatted head, and it still exists today, and it will likely exist so long as humans are recognizably human.

To outright decide that all mentions of a word have such a narrow context is something I cannot accept as valid. It's thoughtcrime.
