How does Ethnicity percent work/does it do anything

I'm working on creating some nations that I want to have a nice mix of diversity in the names coming out of them. However, it appears that when OOTP creates players from these nations, it ONLY looks at the ETID in the nation header, and not at the ethnicity percent below it.

As a test, I created a nation like this:

<NATION id="263" name="Sagittaron" pop="1700000000" etid="2" capid="95470" gender="0" bbqual="2" abbr="SAG" dem="Sagittaronese" time_zone="0" observes_dst="0">
<ETHN_PCTS>
<ETHN_PCTS etid="2" pct="50" />
<ETHN_PCTS etid="0" pct="50" />
</ETHN_PCTS>

So the header ethnicity is Japanese, but the percents are 50/50 Japanese and American. In theory, shouldn't this create 50% Japanese named/ethnic players and 50% American named/ethnic players, or am I completely misunderstanding what those lines are supposed to do? Because when I generated the players (after-reloading all the databases and everything), it only generated players with Japanese names from that country. And when I go into the Nation Editor, it only shows Japaneese as 100%, with no way that I can figure out to add another ethnicity.
