Right now i have more Japanese-Americans in my leagues than is even close to historical accuracy. Because they are American's, the foreign player setting does not filter out the names.
Didn'y Mr. Mal, or someone else, do a more historical rather than contempory name file for OOTP6? Any idea whether one has been done for OOTP2006?

Open nations.txt and find this line
206,United States,U.S.A.,USA,American,4,5,0,71,1,27,2,2
Edit to
206,United States,U.S.A.,USA,American,4,5,0,100,,,,
That will eliminate the game from using the Hispanic and Japanese name sets 29% of the time.
This solution will still have Hispanic and Japanese names, as they are in the census data, but you should get far more Anglicanized names, like Jimmy Murayama and Ted Sanchez.
Also, name set 39 is a historical US name set.
You could alter
206,United States,U.S.A.,USA,American,4,5,0,100,,,,
to
206,United States,U.S.A.,USA,American,4,5,39,100,,,,
and see if that works.
Remember that after changing nations.txt, you will have start from the beginning.
