I think tortellini is actually a part of the dumpling family, not the pasta family

It's not a dumpling. Dumplings are not stuffed pastries or stuffed pasta, dumplings are small balls of dough cooked in stew to be eaten with stew.

We don't called pierogi dumplings either do we?

It's just the co-opting of a word .

Is a bagel bread or is it a dumpling, eh?

What ignorant people call dumplings are mini pies that are boiled.

Tortellini is fancy pasta.

Are hot dogs sandwiches then?

I always thought of dumplings as either dough balls, or dough balls stuffed with other things.

Bread crumbs wrapped in bread crumbs.
A hot dog is basically meat flavoured bread.
