I think that the slave Masters didn't think much higher of the common white folks.

Plus there's a slave labor/ slave oppression culture which benefits the wealthy.

It's used to drive down wages, create tension, and divide/conquer.
The local white community is also victimised by this.

Slaves is not the reason.

The US Constitution forbids slavery - except in prisons.

There's lots of "reasons" why the USA has the biggest slave prison population in the world.
