	A quiz that doesn't accept "American" as a word to refer to people from the USA? I wish I could give this less than a rating of one.

	Only Native Americans for the USA? Therefore, as George Washington, Abraham Lincoln or John F. Kennedy weren't Apache, Navajo, Sioux, etc., they weren't Americans? And to me, kiwi was always the name of a bird or a fruit. I've looked it up and seemingly it's a nickname that the Australians apply to New Zealanders. But if we go for nicknames, most likely there's another one that the New Zealanders apply to Australians. So it's better to stick to formal names.

	I agree with both those comments. I'm Australian and people from New Zealand are definitely called New Zealanders. Kiwi is a slang term, the same way we call ourselves Aussies.

	Besides the problem with the Native American and Kiwi terms as already pointed out, Mongol is not the true demonym of Mongolia, it would be Mongolian. The Mongolians are a Mongolic people, but there are Mongol peoples that are not Mongolian.

	This is a terribly inaccurate quiz.

	To add to all the rest Spanish is the standard formal for Spain so needs to be accepted, but if you're including singular forms Icelander is also correct. Native American is completely ridiculous!

	Native Americans is correct. Negros always say African American.

	@Adrian96: the quiz asks for the name of people from certain countries. If I am a citizen of the United States then I am an American. If the quiz maker had asked us: "What would you call someone who traces their lineage back to a person who lived in North America before European contact?" then the answer would be Native American. Ethnicity traces lineage, your citizenship just depends on the documents you hold. Country demonyms apply to your citizenship, not where you trace your lineage.
