The complexities of being Correct. So my friend walks in one day and says: "some guy is standing on your doorstep and he wants to talk to you" I say: "what does he look like?" Thats when ethnic based descriptors come into place. Before that question is asked ethnic descriptors are irrelevant and seem to prejudice all on either side. Example: Some white guy is standing on your porch and wants to talk to you" Bad Form in my opinion.
Now when describing people who are "white" I use the term Caucasian even though that is inaccurate being that it is a reference to a certain group of folks coming from a mountain range of the same name. I could say hes Anglo Saxon but that also would be incorrect in the very same way. I'm sticking with Caucasian and I consider that settled. Now when referring to myself calling myself African American isn't quite right. That term refers now and days to my friend sylvan who has recently moved here from the "mother land" and gotten citizenship. I am black American or just black referring to the fact that if you traced my ancestry back some of them were actually in and come from Africa centuries ago but beyond that I don't know Africa anymore then it knows me.
Asian folk get grouped. Making a guess in less I know the verbage of there language would be rude. Indians are only from the sub-Continent and anyone over here who has tribal roots on this soil is "Native" even though theirs hints and signs that they may be from colder climates way back when. this is not entirely correct but it is the form I use and Id appreciated it if all my friends who are white/Caucasian from this side of the ocean or the other would chill the F*** out on telling me how there color neutral. we all should be in my opinion and if I consider you a associate or a friend I assume you are too so no need for explanations in less you got some thing to say in the negative to my assumption.
All I have said should not be considered the correct way of doing things this is just form what I would consider "Good Form" to have it is to follow my Dao.

Next The whole subject of slavery believe it or not reminds me of the movie Pocahontas and the word "Savages". Look no further why slavery got so big then that word. they were viewed as stock animals and so they were treated as such. Human isn't very tasty FYI so no cannibalistic slave masters. Aslo only refer to the most widely known historical account of slavery like it never happened to anybody else at any other time since.
