If Uranus self identifies as an asteroid who are we to argue. Just more liberal BS.

NASA won't tell us if Uranus self-identifies as an asteroid. Perhaps the truth would hurt Muslim sensibilities, to protect which is the primary duty of NASA.

Maybe the definition of a planet can be made to include that it must rotate on its axis at less than a 90 degree inclination. Since Uranus' inclination is 98 degrees, that would exclude it from the category of planets.

What to call it then? Perhaps Quasi-Planet.
