I think the Homelands example isn't a good one to draw on -- the point is that "Everyone from Vostels is good at Singing" which only works well if Entertainers with Singing are better than such Entertainers from elsewhere. This is different from saying "Everyone from Darjiin knows how to sing."

I think the official rule is you ignore duplicates, though I'd cheerfully allow a replacement ability if a player suggested a plausible one.
