I know this is an old thread but my main reason for editing these files is naming of players.
It looks like the ethnicities.txt file is for changing the facegen creation ratio for each nation, based on the US numbers this makes sense as about 50% of players are white and the other 50% are black/hispanic.
Now it looks like the ethnicities LID in the world editor changes the names that the nation uses when creating a player, so those numbers effect what percentage will receive hispanic last names or traditional US last names... This would also make sense because although 50% of MLB players are black/hispanic in ethnicity, maybe half of them have non traditional US last names. so you are going to be around 75% for US names.
please let me know if this is a correct assumption. I hope OOTP updates their manual for OOTP 14 because in the 13 manual it makes no mention of this file and still references the old .txt files.
