" We always have liked the idea of who will be a bender and who won't be to be kind of an ambiguous mystery, even to the people in the Avatar world. From early on we thought the Air Nomads would be all benders. Again it's like Mike was saying, it's more of a spiritual connection. But they have...they had...the smallest population. Earth Kingdom has the biggest population but the smallest percentage of benders. So yeah, there were these notions we kicked around that is wasn't going to be regimented or ruled through specific lineages. We liked the idea that each of the cultures have a different spiritual vantage point...coming at it from a different angle."

 The word of god has already said that bending is not genetic. Get over it. The ability to bend is a talent with a underlying spiritual basis that is not regimented through lineage. What about this statement is so confusing for you to understand? This is practically canon here.

I'm sorry if this does not make sense to you,but genetics do not play a part outside of talent and ability. Everything else is based off of culture and spirituality.

Also people born from two nations are not 'multiracial' they are 'multicultural'. No one has said anything about 'multiracial' stuff except ignorant fans who think multiculturalism equals multiracialism.

Bolin and Mako are not multiracial but multicultural. They have two parents from different ethnic groups(fire nation and earth nation),but they are not multiracial.
