All the Races do is decide which element (or elements in multiracial heritage like with Mako and Bolin) a person is eligible to be bender of if they are a bender. Plenty of evidence from ATLA proves that, with the Avatar as the exception to the rule (sort of) It does not decide which people actually become benders, or at least there is no evidence to suggest that it does.

But again, this conversation is already there several times. No need to keep starting new ones after the argument is lost.
