Original Note:
While the etymological connection between "Slav" and "slave" is correct, using this fact to justify racial slurs or downplay other forms of slavery is historically inaccurate and ethically unsound. The origins of the word do not reflect the history of slavery. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/slave https://isi.org/intercollegiate-review/slavs-slaves-and-slavery/
