I honestly never put slave and Slavic together till I read Sowell. I am mostly black with some European and a sprinkle of Native American and Asian. I’m convinced my ancestors include slaves and slave owners from all backgrounds. Like the few percentage points of Scandinavian blood I have are most likely Vikings terrorizing my British ancestors. We both know about African tribes enslaving others. Along with other cultures. I know I have a tiny bit of ancestry from the Balkan’s but not sure if that is the Slav region.

I hope you can reclaim the word for your people
I’d rather have everyone not care about words and focus on actions of the individual, unfortunately pearl clutchers seem universal.
