Slaves were black. Their blackness is inherent to their servitude.

James Bond is Scottish. There are black Scots, and there are white Scots. The color of his skin isn’t relevant to his character.

Lets put it this way. I would venture there are black members of the Secret Intelligence Service today who are Scottish. However, there were no white slaves.

Fail. Try again.

There were white slaves in the South. Probably about as common, if not more, than a black Scot.

There were Irish and English slaves in America.

Some folks here are (ironically) using the old "No True Scotsman" fallacy.

Person A: No Scotsman is black.
Person B: But my Uncle Angus is black.
Person A: Then your Uncle Angus is not a true Scotsman.

For those unfamiliar with the fallacy:

No True Scotsman

"However, there were no white slaves"

Actually not true, but that won't matter to you I think. Indentured servants were indeed just that, however not called that.

today , but again you keep telling people that there are black Scots but miss the point the Bond movies came out decades ago when there were not black Scots.
