I don't know what "white slaves" have to do with this exactly, when you talk about slavery in America. Is that supposed to be some sort of defend? However, as we started history from the "beginning", the pretty much first things about slavery was that Ancient Greece was built on slavery. There was a nice picture where there was lot of stick mans holding few stick mans above them, to demonstrate the structure.
But maybe the teacher thought that your son talked about America? As there probably wasn't white slaves in USA. Well, actually USA has slaves even now, but illegal slaves, like forced prostitutes from Eastern Europe. But that is another story.
Although I don't get this guilt shit anyways, I think USA has enough present day shit to worry about. At least I have enough present day shit to worry about, and I don't care that much what my ancestors did (still some blaming about our own shits), I know the headlines, that is enough.
