Could I take a moment to be offended by the mere existence of the word “slave” and it being used in historical discussion about forced labor and treating people as property, on behalf of all slavic people?

It’s ridiculous that Americans appropriate the name of my people to deal with the problems of their own society.



I know you are just trying to make a point, but then, shouldn't we point out that Americans didn't invent English nor the concept of slavery?
