The Minnesota Senate on Monday approved John Hoffman's (D-MN) bill to change the name "Asian carp" so called because the species originates from Asia, to "invasive carp".

Since Asian carp were introduced in the U.S. in the 1970's, the fish have spread to dozens of states causing destruction in the delicate ecosystems of the waterways.

Guess we’ll have to change the name of the Mediterranean fruit fly as well—and the Japanese beetle, the Argentine ant, the German cockroach, the Norway rat, etc.

THE FURTHER WE GO, THE BEHINDER WE GET....

Next thing you know, the US Congress will come out with a proclamation along the line French Fries will be called Freedom Fries or something like that if France were to ‘diss’ us.

Oh? They already did?
OH? Republicans did?

Oh yes, I remember, in retaliation, the French renamed American Cheese IDIOT cheese.

Calling New Mexico, New Mexico, is offensive to Old Mexico.

New Mexico...not really "New", not really "Mexico."

Amazingly enough, I haven’t heard one Asian claim to be offended, and I married one!

Are actual Asians complaining?

Probably just an handful but, as they claim, "Even if just one is offended then that's one too many.
Democrats don't give a damn about democracy....unless it's one of their pet causes...

I’m sure he was counting on the push back and jokes so he could point his finger and say, “Shame, shame, look at how hateful they are.”

“Further evidence we have gone full loony in this country.”

Maybe instead of calling whites in the USA, European americans, they should change the designation to “invasive conquerors”.
