Power dynamics are real, and the legal system deals with context all the time. So do humans, they handle it quite well in fact (hence why our languages are not context-free). I know computer people want consistency in rules. However, do you want to have a simple-minded consistency (with full invocation of Emerson intended here), or do you value full inclusion and reparative actions to restore full humanity to everyone who shares your DNA, yet were considered non-human in the past? (and still are by many people, who are actively attempting to return the past to the future.) Slavery is ugly and MOST people don't love thinking about that era. Some people DO love thinking about it, and are actively attempting to bring it back.
