I’m not seeing a problem with ‘treat people as people regardless of their skin colour’.

That’d be a massive stretch. Getting paid to do a job you don’t like isn’t slavery.

I think from the libertarian point of view, being compelled to do something is bad even if that thing itself isn’t all that difficult or unpleasant. I’m a pretty stubborn, libertarian-leaning person myself and I would resent doing even all my favorite things in the world if the government were making me do them.
(I still wouldn’t make the comparison to slavery myself.)

how about having to wear out body and mind to earn money to not be excluded from the wealth society has produced? Or is that the part you gladly submit to?
