Hurtful Names

[DockRat]

Dear Asians, FNN has many so if you are offended by this let us know 'Asian Carp'. Personally I am offended by Cracker Jacks. Being a whitey and knowing that Cracker is slang for white guys it really hurts and we should all boycott Cracker Jacks.:LOL:

Liberals passed a bill to change this fish’s name because it is “hurtful” and “offensive”

Because banning names is all the rage with liberals these days, I thought I would remind you of this little gem from a couple months ago.

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

I thought they were gonna change the name to Shanty Irish Carp?

[DEVOREFLYER]

So by that logic which party is offended by "German Brown Trout"? Is it the Germans or the Brown skinned???
And I don't even know if we want to question the "Rainbow Trout" and the LGBT community.
Then we have the "Small Mouth" "Large Mouth" Bass thing.
Jeeze when will all of this PC BS stop.

Asian Carp! I am offended by that name. Oriental Carp sounds much more appropriate.

Dock Rat im offended by Mickey Big Mouth Beer. Not so much by being Irish & getting a wee bit loud when drinking beer. But why are we attached to such a awful brew ? Oh wait, now I get the reasoning ! It's the carp that's offensive.

Do You Know the History Behind the Name ‘Washington Redskins’?
Oct. 11, 2013 12:21pm Erica Ritz

Do you know the history of the Washington Redskins? As the issue becomes increasingly contentious — with many claiming the name is racist or discriminatory and pushing for a change — Glenn Beck tackled the issue head-on Friday.

“Ninety percent of Native Americans feel that the name isn’t offensive and shouldn’t be changed,” Beck remarked, echoing a letter written by the Redskins owner Dan Snyder to fans. “Students at primarily Native American schools all across America wear the name with pride, and say now they’re afraid they might lose the name. At Kingston Oklahoma high school, which is 58 percent Native American, the name ‘Redskins’ has been worn by its students for 104 years. In fact, ‘Redskins’ was a name first used by Native Americans.”

“In 1932, the NFL team moved to the historic Fenway Park and were left under the leadership of George Preston Marshall. The very next year, Marshall changed the name to ‘Redskins.’ Why?” Beck continued. “Well that’s a good question for the president to ask … the name was changed to ‘Redskins’ to honor then-coach Lone Star Dietz, an American Sioux. So the name actually pays tribute to a great people.”

Switching to a deeply sarcastic voice, imitating those who want the name changed, Beck remarked: “But the people it pays tribute to? Oh, I guess they just don’t know any better. But Obama does. And Peter King does. And NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell does. But the majority of the Indians … don’t have a clue at all. The speech police using political correctness again to take care of these helpless, hopeless people so they are never harmed again. It’s for their own good…”

Beck said perhaps it’s not those who don’t want the name changed who are out of touch, but those “who have no connection to the Native American culture, people out there trying to draw attention to themselves.”
