    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

        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.
