What would 'modern day slavery' look like? And what would be the most appropriate phrase for the scenario described in the link?

There is still actual old school slavery around. Mostly in the third world: https://www.antislavery.org/slavery-today/modern-slavery/
What to call it when US Ivy League graduates are shocked to discover that they share a country with blue collar workers, I don't know...

One obvious example of modern day slavery in the United States is prison labor. It's not rare, and it's still disproportionately black people because of our racist "justice" system.

Is your argument that all demographics commit crime at the same rate? For example the vast majority of those incarcerated are in for violent crime, and a significant number of those involve killing.

I think the argument is that the treatment is inhumane because of the demographics involved.

Modern-day slavery looks like someone kidnapping you and forcing you to work in a brick kiln because they showed you the equivalent of $200 USD before taking it away from you and so now you "owe them money".
