The Bible does not in any way prohibit slavery. It is fully okay with making slaves of "foreigners."

So this guy is abiding by Biblical tradition and making slaves of people outside his tribe. What could be more Christian than subjugating people not of your tribe (Asians, African Americans, non-Americans) to your will under God's law?
