Hateful Fish Name Changed

Liberals passed a bill to change this fish’s name because it is “hurtful” and “offensive”
From Breitbart:
The Minnesota Senate 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.
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers have been fighting off the most invasive species, the black carp from China, the Silver carp from Vietnam, and Grass carp from China from spreading into the Great Lakes were the fish could do massive damage the regions fishing industry. While arguing his case on the Senate floor, Hoffman said that referring to the fish as “Asian” was hurtful to some people
What animal is next? Black Bear? Siberian Tiger?
Or how about butterfly names; will the Red Admiral become the Native American Admiral, the Black Swallowtail the African American Swallowtail, the Cabbage White the Cabbage Caucasian? This way lies madness.
