Shit did I miss a memo? Are we doing a bit where we defend the morality of the US constitution? Hold on everyone, I call the 13th amendment!
It didn't abolish slavery though.
Here is the full context which still permits slavery so long as you've done a crime(and what counts as a crime can be modified to get the exact amount of slave labor you need)
No it didn't.

You're arguing semantics. If the US state simply found a work-around to continue racial slavery, then they are still doing racial slavery. Full stop.
I don't get your point on Hispanic Americans being included in that demographic as proving your point. If we consider Hispanics a racial minority, which they are, then these numbers only give further merit to the fact that racial slavery is still practiced in Amerikkka.
