Scots-Irish, not Scotch-Irish. Other than that though you've got a pretty solid quiz.

Don't accept British for English, as British covers all of the UK, not just England. Might want to accept Ulster for Scots-Irish, as it's where they primarily came from.

Apart from Scotch Irish which is a trick question, a good quiz

Scotch-Irish (or Scots-Irish, or Ulster Scots) isn't a trick question; it's an ethnicity with a distinct history. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotch-Irish_American

You might accept "Indian" for Native American.

You should probably accept "Black" for African. Other than that, good quiz
