Pentatonic scales tend to omit half steps, I doubt that something using 5 diatonic notes in a row would overall be pentatonic.

I was looking a few folk pentatonic tunes, they seem to use: do,re,mi,sol,la (omit fa and ti) "Minor" looks like it starts on la but still omits fa & ti: la,do,re,mi,sol,la. With no fa, there's no issue of if it's Dorian or Aeolian minor.

I see this has already been said, but since I typed it, I'll submit it.
