You don't have to admit that, and it's not funny; it's a form of hatred (given it's usage in the treatment of slaves and relatives of former slaves). Let's say someone sells you into slavery (which can still happen), and you enjoy that life for a while. Then see how you feel about how funny the term is to you.

Slavery existed for thousands of years. Jews sold Christians into slavery, Templars and Catholic soldiers did the the same unto Jews. The British crown shipped the Irish off to the Virginia companies to work on their incorporated farms. Blacks sold fellow blacks into slavery, wealthy Jews bought them and sold them to wealthy southeners.

Slavery was a money maker.

And none of those people and their relatives have wanted to be referred to with ethnic slurs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ethnic_slurs_by_ethnicity
