There is a reason why nearly every culture developed not just slavery, but some form of caste system.
The problem isn't that these people exist, its that we deny they do. Instead of accepting the idea that sometimes the oppressed deserve their oppression, and some will never be able to reach beyond their station.
These are the unpleasant thoughts. Because our culture right now isn't designed to handle people with slave mentality. It's seen as a vice or shortcoming to be overcome instead of a simple fact of life for some people.
Its only unpleasant because it shakes up what you think reality is. Once you've accepted that you were wrong, or lied to, and try to see the world as it truly is these things stop being uncomfortable and just become the way it is.
