It has never been racist, I always saw it as a spoils of war for the victor for the most of it. The only reason why it is deemed racist is due to people just stereotyping it and a way to add guilt to others. Normally nowadays people say slavery was just an "American thing", yet overlook the real old days, It's these people that ruined the history of slavery. Like you said, the Romans and Egyptians had slaves. Slavery has never been and never will be a thing of racism.
A lot of people never even take into account the fact that before American's even were buying slaves, African tribes were taking slaves from the tribes that they defeated, heck they're the ones that sold the slaves to the Americans venturing into Africa.
As for if slavery is bad, you bet your butt it's bad. Indentured servitude and things like that, not so much but they're two very different matters entirely. Just mentioned that since I saw some people mentioning slaves being payed, which sort of brings up the definition of slavery that people might differ on haha.

Sigh, this one is really easy to answer.
Would you like it if someone came up to you, binded you into chains, drove you to their house, and forced you to work for them, for nothing? Exactly, that is why it is unethical. Race be damned, no matter the race/culture, we demand and deserve equality in freedom.
