Yes, slaves are super convenient. No one ever said that slaves aren't nice to have, dude. YOUR experience is not the fucking point.

There is no way to create a creature for the express purpose of exploitation that is okay. There is no way to create a creature with the intention of forcing it into a state of total dependence that is not actually evil.

comparing slaves to animals is what slavers do

Yes! Good on you for noticing the speciesism that racism is built on! If non-human animals have less worth than humans then liking some humans to non-human animals means they have less worth. The issue is at the very start, that

a) non-human animal and human are a meaningful distinction
b) non-humans have inherently less worth than humans

speciesism is necessary. racism is bad.

for once in your life make an argument and don't just throw out claims.
