Bethesda continues the age-old tradition of Fallout games invoking slavery but trying to strip it of any politics and just kind of shrug and be like "it's bad, I guess"
Never in the history of the world has slavery been about a group 'just needing someone to do menial labor that no one wants to do'. It is always 'needing someone to do menial labor and also hating a particular group of people and considering them sub-human'. So to discard that second part is to have a fundamental misunderstanding of slavery and whether that's intentional or not is irrelevant because it makes for borderline irresponsible writing.
And the rest of this DLC is okay I guess. It sure is more Fallout 3.
