MORE P.C. STUPIDITY--DNR TO CHANGE NAME OF "ASIAN CARP"
ReplyDeleteGRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — Asian carp have made headlines across the Midwest for more than a decade — a looming threat that could cripple the Great Lakes ecosystem. Scientists and engineers have been able to hold off the invasive fish and now they are taking a new step in the fight — a new name.
This week, the Illinois Department of Natural Resources plans to introduce a new name for the fish that sounds more appetizing and encourages people to target the fish for consumption.
“We’re trying to make the name more attractive, so people will be more inclined to purchase them and have them for table fare, have them for dinner,” John Rogner, the assistant director of the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, told WTTW-TV in Chicago.
Dirk Fucik, who owns a gourmet fish shop in Chicago,didn’t give any specifics but has a basic of idea for the new name.
“(Something) simple, short and not carp,” he told WTTW.
(GRA:Or Asian,lol).
The discussion around a name change is nothing new. In 2014, Minnesota’s state legislature approved a motion to have state agencies refer to the name as the “invasive carp.” In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, with a spike in anti-Asian hate crimes, more agencies worked on a name change. The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service changed the name last year.
“We wanted to move away from any terms that cast Asian culture and people in a negative light,” Charlie Wooley, Director of the USFWS Great Lakes Region, told The Associated Press.
GRA:Even invasive fish receive reputation upgrades--everything does but White people.This particular species was supposed to wipe out every other fish in the water.Now,it's described as delicious--but more importantly,will not be called "Asian".A similar public relations move to make blacks look better to the public has been on-going for years.If it can work with them--why not Asian carp as well?

A long time ago I paid attention to Ann Coulter--no more. First she was infatuated with Chris Christie (remember that creep?). Then she had a huge crush on Mitt Romney--a huge RINO--if only the Chinese would harvest his horn. Then she was for Trump--before she was against Trump. Is this woman a mental case or does she just shoot off her mouth to get attention and make big bucks? In any case, why pay attention to this flake?
