Subspecies is a better word for other slime types, but the thing is, you're not taking into account that the split off slimes change from the base slime form. Pink slimes are no longer basic slimes, ditto with black and green, the subspecies are recognizable as offshoots, but they are different creatures.

A human being of Asian ancestory is still a human being, with the same form and abilities as others, save for differences in culture, etc.

A slime and a black slime are similar, but different. You can see that they are alike, but their abilities and traits are so different that they are effectively a related species to one another, subspecies, not identical save for appearance and culture like humans are.
