It's entirely possible that an Avatar could be born to a mixed couple. It's not as though the mixed child would inherit the bending abilities of both parents. For instance, Mako and Bolin were born to Earth Kingdom and Fire Nation parents. As a result, Mako is a fire bender and Bolin is an earth bender. Another instance are the children of Aang (airbender/avatar) and Katara (waterbender). Tenzin is an airbender, Kya is a waterbender, and Bumi is a non-bender.
