The International Astronomical Union says Pluto is now a "Dwarf Planet" and not a real planet. That's not good use of language, unless they also believe "Dwarf People" are not real people.
Pluto was discovered by an American astronomer, and the IAU is heavily European. One of the astronomers who voted to 'deplanetize' Pluto actually said "That will show those asshole Americans after the vote." There were even IAU members who announced taking Pluto off the list was a retaliation to Bush 43's invasion of Iraq.
The current definiton of Planet is incredibly complicated to keep Pluto off the list, and it officially cannot be used for planets of other solar systems. We're the first generation just now finding extra-solar planets in huge numbers, and there's now no official definition of what we are finding, again mostly with American telescopes and American astronomers.
tl/dr: The IAU administration is dominated by hard core "America must be destroyed" Communists - Ask President Trump to give the IAU a 10 Megaton enema today!
