So if a person calls a white or asian character 'bae' or 'son/daughter' it does not imply ownership?

How many people alive today were actually slaves or had parents or grandparents that were? Probably none.

I'm not denying that slavery doesn't still exist in the world, but it is not just black people. Just because every American public school United States history class teaches about slavery in the U.S people think that is the only time slavery existed.

How many people alive today were actually slaves or had parents or grandparents that were? Probably none.

Because it has been over 150 years since abolition, no, people living today have no living connection to the enslaved generation. Former slaves were interviewed in the 1930s about their experiences, and they were all 80-100 years old. Few grandparents of today are likely to remember their great-grandparents who were the last of the freed slaves.

Because of slavery, it is difficult to do detailed genealogical research into the families of the modern African-American population. But most African-Americans have some degree of heritage linking back to them, even spread out after the Great Migration. If you watch episodes of shows like Finding Your Roots and Who Do You Think You Are, when they speak with African-American celebs it inevitably comes up.
