Original Note:
The etymology of the word slave shows that it is derived from Slav as they were sold as property to be used as labour in the 9th and 10th century. https://www.oed.com/dictionary/slave_n?tl=true&tab=etymology Thus white people have been oppressed. Furthermore, Muslim Moors in spain engaged in the slave trade of whites. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_in_Spain#:~:text=Slavery%20in%20Spain%20can%20be,peak%20in%20the%2016th%20century.
