What about if it was a white American who had emigrated from Finland?
How about a native American whose ancestors kept slaves?
Maybe a fella from Mauritania living in the US but still having slaves back home.
It does imply that Herrings white American guilt idea is bollox.

Finland had slavery abolished by the Swedes in the 14th C.
Then later when Russia took over they didn't extend the policy of serfdom into the dutchy
