Oh, depending on your foundational assumptions, it's inherently evil, but often people who grew up with it being acceptable may not be aware of it until it is pointed out to them. In other foundational assumptions, it is not evil, but is instead perfectly consistent with the laws of nature.

So basically you're saying that there is no absolute moral truth, merely societal constructs.

No, i'm saying the differences in culture opinions are the result of differences in foundational assumptions, but I believe that morals that differ from objective morality are inherently wrong. Slavery is inherently wrong.
