Are countries/nationalities typically allowed in Scrabble-type games tho?


Depends on the specific game, but, often, no. A demonyn is a proper adjective built off a proper noun. Proper nouns are not allowed in scrabble. An Indian brand motorcycle makes the case for why it should not be allowed under that rule.

Just a typical moment of ignorance voiced angrily in public, enhancing the public's understanding of the speaker's stupidity.

The fact that “Qi” is perfectly acceptable in Scrabble yet this example isn’t is why I don’t play Scrabble.
