by changing their name because it is offensive to some people.
"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."

I've never called them Asian or German carp, because they're damn carp. What I want to know which idiot usfws biologist recommended they be brought into the country in the 1st place. Surely he's not still on the payroll?

I don't think anyone recommended they be brought here intentionally. Probably they hitchhiked here as eggs in the bilge water of some ship that was in some Asian river and then unloaded in the Mississippi...Similar to how the zebra mussels got here...

In local news reports, they are most frequently identified as big-headed carp.
Being mostly of Swedish and German heritage, I take extreme offense.

I guess that means no more "Chinese" food or "Mexican" food.
What will we call it?
