Why were the white people so selfish when they were tired so they got slaves?

Perhaps the most well-known example of White persons demonstrating selfishness (and, indeed, perhaps fatigue and/or laziness) that led to the purchase and ownership of slaves occurred in the West in the 15th to 18th centuries. During this period, Europeans (predominantly Whites) engaged in wide-spread slavery with the clear aim of increasing their economic profits by doing so. It should not be overlooked that racial-ethnic views differed at that time, with many Europeans (and others) assuming a superior-inferior relationship between their culture and the cultures of those who were drawn into slavery.
