Many people from Europe were enslaved for example by the Ottoman empire. We moved on by being strong and not letting ourselves be defined by this dark episode in our history.

Demanding that certain words are banned is not moving on, it's being perpetually stuck in a victim's mentality.

Don't forget the Romans, the Mongols and the Greek... they enslaved plenty of uncooperative Europeans. It's just older history.
