Earlier this week, New York State legislators introduced a bill that would ban the sale, trading, possession and distribution of shark fins, possibly as of 2013. California, Hawaii, Oregon and Washington already ban shark fin and Florida, Illinois, Maryland and Virginia have legislation pending.

Are they gonna ban tuna, too? If they’re trying to protect ocean predators, that would be a good move — especially since they are endangered.

But of course, that would outrage the “normal” people (aka whitey) so they wouldn’t dare do that, would they?
