Ending our unfathomably racist tradition because we're now too racist for it.
Making sure, of course, to replace it in the most racist way possible
Taking down the statue of Jefferson Davis in front of the Bumfuck County, AL courthouse and replacing it with a Rudolf Hess memorial
this but with edward colston

Amazing.
Hundreds of Chinese laundrymen have worked on Britain’s warships since the 1930s, with most hired from Hong Kong to wash and press sailor’s uniforms and officers’ white tablecloths.
Nepalese Gurkhas will replace them due to fears that Beijing could threaten the servants’ families in China to make those on board ships pass on Royal Navy secrets, The Sun has reported.
It is the 21st fuckiung century what in the absolute fuck is this?!
Nepalese Gurkhas will replace them
Why is it so fucking important that the people washing the clothes not be white
Why do the people washing the clothes need to be a specific ethnicity
The United Kingdom, a place that never saw a contractor outsourcing arrangement it didn't like, but which still uses a racial caste system for assigning jobs in the navy. I've said it before and I'll say it again, sink that stupid island
Because usually white westerners tend to not be desperate enough to accept such shitty conditions and pay. Unless you’re polish, in which case British people will complain that not enough are slaving away in the UK. Also watch white lotus season 1.
I expect immigrants are actually doing the laundry via 3 layers of subcontractors for the US Navy too, but it's not like they're stipulating that they have to be specifically Guatemalan or whatever
On ships laundry is done by enlisted men or in self-serve laundry facilities. I'm sure they use the 3-layers of graft off the ships though.
The US Navy is culturally very different from the Royal Navy going way back to its inception.
Correct. Through various means.
On the boats sailors do their own laundry, unless you’re an officer in which case your laundry is done by lower enlisted, and lower enlisted is comprised predominantly by minorities. The laundry folks also hustle on the side and will do your laundry if you pay them.
Pulling into port the Navy usually arranges some sort of pier side laundry service ran by whatever ethnic minority is being oppressed in that particular region.
Stateside there are laundry services on bases, and you pretty much nailed how they work.
Yeah, but this isn't a thing where a job is all brown people because they are who is in need of the work, these folks were specifically recruited BECAUSE they were Chinese and they are now replacing them with Nepalese people. These aren't regular jobs in the Navy.
Do you think we could get gammons to oppose this is we framed it as taking jobs from white people
The Gurkahs (who serve in the UK due to a 19th century agreement) are also known for being extremely competent special forces and mountain infantry so this is some Stevan Segal in Under Siege bullshit.
they are also massively screwed over with their pensions compared to their British army counterparts. It's straight up bullshit
LOL they’re from Hong Kong? Where are all the “revolution of our times” losers simping for UK colonization? This is how they see you.
If you look into it, something like a third of people who fled HK to the UK during the riots can't/couldn't find work, most of them reported experiencing racism, and now the UK government is dragging its feet processing asylum applications that would allow them to stay long term.
Don't have much sympathy for Gusanos, but I do feel bad for people genuinely just seeking an out from instability.
And all the liberals who are all rah rah about balkanization and coups are completely silent about their failed project. It seems like the average westerner cannot focus on two things at once when it becomes too complicated
“Revolution of our times” flopped like the world’s wettest noodle
Apparently 
is just a series of Cumtown bits
got that thousand island stare over here
The admiralty really dreamed to imagine
This is why I find it pathetic when people in my family as well as other Asians want to be a capital C conservative. They will never accept you. It’s called “perpetual foreigner” for a reason. At best you will be useful in translating stupid shit and snitching on random liberal Asians who you think are CCP agents. But then once that’s over, you’ll be next because they will never trust us. The average westerner can’t even tell the “good Asians” from the “bad Asians” unless they see your anime drawing skills.
UK merchant ships continue to do this - same attitudes.
Working with some organisations, I've even talked to people who remembered the good old post-war days where officers cruised their warships around the crumbling empire; ships running on a class/caste system where your racial inferiors did your laundry and service, and your class inferiors did all the marine work.
I've even heard of junior officers being punished for doing their own laundry since it breaks down the hierarchy.

when it's not enough to be an imperialist, you have to be racist as well
but like 1894 instead
The UK is like cartoon racist. This doesn't feel like the real racism that real humans do. Are the British even real? Did you fuckers make them up as a joke?
East Ireland. (unironically)
Reminder that one of two new British carriers is up on cinder blocks because they needed to strip it for parts to keep the other one going.
Maybe they couldn't afford HK wages anymore and are replacing the laundry crew with cheaper Nepalese workers and this is their inscrutable Westoid way of saving face.
Oh I've seen this one!
Chinese Displacement Act or something like that, right?
"servants"
"servants"
alright everybody in the uk, on your fucking knees. the mass executions start now
the navy is probably the most classist institution left in the UK after the actual royal family
this makes sense when you consider that english aristocrats are actually the stupidest people alive
