Re. that quote, I was referring mostly to the kinds of abuse I cite in example in the rest of the comment.
From what I know, it wasn't particularly common for American South slave-owners to specifically select for attractive female slaves and routinely rape or otherwise abuse them for personal pleasure - having sex with "niggers" was, as I understand it, a deep wrongdoing.
I also don't imagine the american slave-owners of that culture engaging in all that many orgies or the various practices of viking naval slaves or ancient chinese generals.
No.
Raping slaves was common, and was often prompted by racism - after all, if the kid's half-white he'll make a better slave, wont he? No-one thought they were unattractive, just "inferior".
