Anyone could own a slave if they had money: blacks , whites , natives , Jews and if we had any Asians at the time they could have owned slaves. It was truly an equal opportunity business venture .
And not all slaves were blacks.
We did have Asians living in the South and they did have slaves. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chang_and_Eng_Bunker
