No.
From my understanding, these o people were sent, here to repay debt that they owed.
Or the incured debt to get passage to America, in the first place.
Either way, they weren't just taken., for no wrongdoing.

They were indentured servants. Once they worked off their debt or whatever they were free to go. And they could never be born indentured and their descendants were not going to be indentured either. The “owner” might feel a superiority to his subject, but it’s more classist then anything, like maybe a boss might feel for his employees. Classist beliefs are a little different than racist beliefs.
It’s a little different than chattel slavery.
