So I need to start calling Asians 'Invasive Humans' in order to be PC?

...interesting.

Wait until people find out that Asian Carp is a generalized term for different species of invasive carp. One of which happens to be the Black Carp (gasp!)

The Large Faggotworm, the Rape bug, the Gypsy moth, and the slave maker ant are also in danger of losing their names.

I'm not joking. They obviously look fake, but they aren't. The bitch trying to get them renamed is a herpetologist. She's also a colored leftist.

The "slave maker ant" is called that because that's what it does. So she's concerned about offending our her insect overlords?

The last two are believable, and the second questionable...

But I gotta go check out this Big Tony.

The gypsy moth has lost its name. There was an article posted here (I think) a few days ago.

Asian carp

WHICH asian carp? There's like a half dozen of them causing problems.

Including fukking goldfish of all things.

And the thing is, the real kicker, is that most of them are only here because environmentalists pushed using imported carp as an alternative to chlorine to control algae in the 70's. They escaped in the southern Mississippi River floodplain in the flood of 1993 and quickly spread throughout the Mississippi system. Once they're mature they're basically immune to predation from walleyes and bass.

There are definitely invasive species of non Asian carp out there so this term change is stupid.

We've always been at war with Invasia.

I'm guessing actual Asians in Asia don't care. If I was living in Asia I would be proud of my fish invading the rest of the world.

How is that better - since we all know the Carp is from Asia?

So China has been putting pressure on politicians to wipe away any negativity toward China.
