Right. But you have to take into consideration how the world is and how our society operates. Just like you, I too know that not all slaves were black, but allot of people are unaware of this fact and immediately jump the gun when the word slave is used to implement it with black people because that is the most popular form of slavery from back in the day. So when you take that into consideration I'd have to say yeah just using the word slaves by itself is extremely inappropriate especially in a mathematical equation simple math or not.
