• Here is the full context which still permits slavery so long as you’ve done a crime(and what counts as a crime can be modified to get the exact amount of slave labor you need)

    Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

    Section 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

            You’re arguing semantics. If the US state simply found a work-around to continue racial slavery, then they are still doing racial slavery. Full stop.

            I don’t get your point on Hispanic Americans being included in that demographic as proving your point. If we consider Hispanics a racial minority, which they are, then these numbers only give further merit to the fact that racial slavery is still practiced in Amerikkka.
