“The Royal Navy is ending its century-old tradition of having Chinese servants on warships amid fears that they could be forced to spy for Beijing. Hundreds of Chinese laundrymen have worked on Britain’s warships since the 1930”

Dare I ask what other "traditions" of overt, unapologetic racial discrimination in hiring are still in place in the British armed forces? Or whether there are any remaining official military jobs with titles that include the word "servant"?
