Latin American Descendant?
South American Descendant?

How many types of Descendants of Slavery are we talking about here?

Well... if you’re a descendant of a slave in America, you’re most likely of African descent. Which would make you black.

I'm an American descendant of a slave owner? Why is that not an option?

Aren't the vast majority of us descendants of slaves? I bet if you looked far enough back among your ancestors, you'd start finding people who weren't shoe salesmen and database administrators with nice little houses in the suburbs.

I wonder if I qualify for ADOS?

My ancestors were slave holders.

Also, what are the said benefits of such status?

You could be white and your mom was a sex slave for some Democrats in New York.

I've seen it written as AADOS. The AA part is African-American. AADOS or ADOS, same thing.
