Instead, it will be reclassified in a new category of "dwarf planets," similar to what long have been termed "minor planets."

The term "dwarf" is pejorative and offensive and therefore politically incorrect.

They should call them "differently sized" planets.

How about "gravitationally challenged" planets?
