Well...who is swimming naked anyway? I can see fingers or toes getting bit, but what about the little snakey thing just above the family jewels?

Uh..... We in MN aren't allowed to use the word "ASIAN" Carp anymore. So, in MN, the "ASIAN" Carp are now to be called Invasive Species...however, that's what I thought "ASIAN" Carp was?? :huh: Anyway, I will be sure not to say "ASIAN" Carp anymore when describing "ASIAN" Carp. I digress.

and in Florida we "had" Jew fish but we can't call them Jew fish anymore because that would be insensitive to the jewish people. Soooooo, now they're called Goliath Grouper. Next thing on the list is Red Fish. This is insensitive to the American Indians so maybe we should change the name to Red Jew Fish.

I'm now taking my "balls" and going home........................

Who said you can't call 'Asian' Carp Asian Carp? Was it the same person that told me I couldn't say a Chinese guy was Asian?

Our State passed a law that says "ASIAN" Carp are not to be referred as "ASIAN" Carp any more. Also, here in MN Nice Country, we no longer recognize Columbus Day.... :smt101

So what do you call them? Pacific-Rim Carp? Polynesian Carp? Illegal Immigrant Carp? Undocumented Worker Carp?

"ASIAN" Carp are now to be referred as "Invasive Carp". I know what you're thinking; "Well yes, it is an invasive carp, just like a zebra mussel would be considered an invasive mussel (for example but not limited to)-but aren't there many invasive species?"

Long of the short, if you're in MN and you call an "ASIAN" Carp an "ASIAN" Carp, the DNR will charge you with a hate crime and send you to reeducation camp....

Bravo!

PC changes words from their true meaning which allows individuals to shirk accountability and responsibility for the words they use. Vanilla everything.
