Master/slave is not a racist concept unless you make it so, and ignore history in the process. The Roman aristocracy had slaves who were also Roman, and Greek, and various other nationalities of nominally the same race. So unless you're now going to claim racism counts even when the oppressee is the same race as the oppressor, try to avoid talking such nonsense.
