Can we let this go. We already discussed this multiple time. The country a person decends from determines what elements they are eligible to bend from if they become benders. Nothing more. Sometimes their family is decended from more than one country, and so that have a chance top be a bender of one of multiple elements. That is likely genetic as it has to do with heritage and race.

However that is where the genetic part ends and the spiritual part likely begins. So while genetics do not determine bending, it probably does determine what element(s) a person could become a bender of.
