Murder Hornets Get Name Change

As progress progresses, the Ministry of Truth works feverishly to keep the Newspeak Dictionary up to date. Murder hornets have a new name because racism:

The Entomological Society of America and the Entomological Society of Canada have adopted a new name for the murder hornet, also known as the Asian giant hornet, saying “the usage of ‘Asian’ in the name of a pest insect can unintentionally bolster anti-Asian sentiment” especially “amid a rise in hate crimes and discrimination against people of Asian descent.”

There is no significant discrimination against people of Asian descent in America. There are hate crimes, but they are not committed by people who have any idea that murder hornets are also called “Asian giant hornets.” They are committed by resentful urban blacks taking advantage of the collapse of law & order under liberal rule (see herehere, and here).

However, the point of Newspeak Dictionary updates is not to address reality, but to obfuscate it — often with virtue signaling intended to prop up the bogus liberal narrative.

Chris Looney, entomologist at the Washington State Department of Agriculture, authored the name change proposal, saying that the previous common name of the species, scientifically called Vespa mandarinia, “is at best a neutral and uninformative adjective, potentially a distraction from more salient characters of the organism, and at worst a racist trope.”

Seriously, the moonbat’s name really is Looney. We are living in an over-the-top comedy devoted to ridiculing liberals. If you don’t believe it, find any clip of Kamala “Heartbeat Away” Harris speaking publicly. The satire isn’t subtle.
