The Mamluks were not slaves. They were bought as slaves, trained into professional soldiers and then given freedom. They were socailly shunned, because they barely spoke the local language and were unruly (corruption, rape, etc.). There were enough benovelent Mamluks, but the high amount of bad ones overshadowed the reputation of the remaining ones. Eitherway both (Mamluks and eunuchs) were less regarded in society.
So, the Mamluks were despised not for their slavery, but for the bad behavior of some of them? Interesting point.

I think I have to start to consider whether you are a qualified communicator. You casually expressed opinions that seemed strange to us without understanding China, persisted in your opinion even after we explained them, and began to press me with the hat of freedom of speech when I asked you to stop stating such strange remarks. Honestly, man, I hate to say this, but you're being a little rude.
I want to state a truth all the time: the power of the eunuch comes entirely from the emperor, so the eunuch cannot accomplish something by himself and needs the authorization or acquiescence of the emperor. The expression "Therefore it is impossible for them to have done something illegal" is very interesting. Can you frame it for me in one of my sentences?
As I recall correctly, freedom of speech requires respect for others. If you, as a Spaniard, saw someone who insisted that the Moors or Jews had long been a strong political force in Spain, would you at least ask them not to promote such absurd claims?
I think this debate needs to stop and we can't let this unrelated topic continue to dominate the posts

I'm sorry, I didn't expect many of them to come and discuss topics related to eunuchs when I sought information from them.This has caused you a certain amount of information bombardment.
