Hanlon's razor: Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

Who said anything about intention? If somebody rear-ends my car by accident, they're still responsible for the damage. My insurance company's lawyers don't accept "Oh well I didn't mean to do it" in lieu of payment. Is there a bona-fide reason that the working-class Bangladeshi professionals should be systematically underpaid?

The reason immigrants are allowed to immigrate is because of their willingness to work for lower wages. Whether you think that's fair or not that's the reality.

Agreed. As an immigrant from Hong Kong to UK, I see many people coming to work for minimum wage. Most of them are quite wealthy and just work to feel like being a part of society.
