About the actor from Chile that you mention, I corrected you by saying that he is not «of an ethnicity indigenous to the Americas». He is from Chile, true but not indigenous. Chilean is a nationality, not an ethnic origin. You are mixing things up.
And what do you think indigenous means? Because as far as I know it means people native to a region, prior to foreign settlers. In this case European settlers. So why can't these VAs have indigenous heritage? Should I say Native American? That would be just as accurate, but conjures a different image.

Also I think you are confusing certain terms here. It is very difficult to distinguish, at least in English, the difference between an ethnicity and a nationality, since the same word is used. When the VA from Chile said he's Chilean, he means his ethnicity, as well as nationality I'm sure. But all of these are ethnicities. Like me. Ethnically I'm Puerto Rican, but nationally I'm from the USA. But Puerto Rican is used for both. Blame the English language, not me.
