Its being discussed in this circumstances because Satan is very cunning , it starts off with a fish name then gets worse and worse with the deception. Always call out evil and lies whenever you can, dont be afraid, we have Jesus christ as our Lord and saviour, and the Holy Spirit to guide and direct us.I can imagine, a few of us sitting around the "Coronation Table" and the others having a conversation down here about "ASIAN Carp"

"no-one in the piece says that Asian carp is racist."
That's true because Asian Carp cannot be racist. Just like they're incapable of being aquaphobic.
Your game is now transparent. What a shame.

I would concur with the second worldly observation.
The first I do not believe in any way applies.

"Asian Carp" is not racist, it's an "Invader" with extreme Prejudice.

Are Asian Carp dangerous to The Great Lakes?
Asian carp cause serious damage to the native fish populations in the lakes and rivers that they infest because they out-compete other fish (video, 1 min) for food and space. Carp are also thought to lower water quality, which can kill off sensitive organisms like native freshwater mussels.Jun 24, 2019

What do you think is deceptive about renaming a group of four fish species?

The reason it is being done.

The main reason it is being done is to avoid racial overtones to a campaign to get rid of invasive fish.
“We wanted to move away from any terms that cast Asian culture and people in a negative light,” said Charlie Wooley, director of its Great Lakes regional office.
How do you find that deceptive?

Amen. Another of the tactics the enemy employs is the system of denial.
For instance the words, racist and racism, appear no less than 3 times in the OP article.
The second paragraph informed the name , Asian Carp , is the issue due to the race of visitors arriving at a Minnesota airport.
"But the last straw came when an Asian business delegation arriving at the Minneapolis airport encountered a sign reading "Kill Asian Carp." It was a well-intentioned plea to prevent spread of the invasive fish. But the message was off-putting to the visitors."
The system of denial entered in when someone who never read the article denied race, racist,racism, had anything to do with the name change.
When every online article reporting this story reports similarly to that of the OP.
Race,racist,racism, undertones surround the name, Asian Carp.
The article headline is impossible to miss.
Worries over racism, waterways inspire push to rename fish
"We wanted to move away from any terms that cast Asian culture and people in a negative light," one official said.
Scroll down the page and you'll see another type of Carp that causes concern. The Black Carp.
Is it a matter of time before the racist terror group Black Lives Matter jumps on that one?
There is no Constitutional right guaranteeing the right not to be offended.
Nor is there one that pertains to growing up.
"I'm offended! Change it!"
That's the very pulse behind the obscenely obvious fascist movement that calls itself , Cancel Culture.
Imagine if American's had the guts to say, "No!", to such abuse of our history and the whole of American culture .
A nation that forgets its history is condemned to repeat it.....
Unless it no longer exists on the record.

I read the article. I didn't say that racism had nothing to do with the name change. I said that nobody behind the name change said that calling a fish 'Asian' is racist.
It's not cancel culture to change a name. Nothing and no-one got cancelled here.

No-one is making a demand on the basis of offence in the OP situation.
