Dannyalcatraz said:Yes, what is your point? Half-Elves are NOT a species, they are a Hybrid of 2 species. Species breed true. Hyrbrids don't. You'd expect to see 25% Humans, 25% Elves, 50% Half-Elves.
Though we speak like that occasionally, nationality isn't determined by genetics.
Perhaps the best illustration of something like this is a genetic disease like Tay-Sachs or Sickle Cell anemia.

Half-elves have half-elven children.
Most half-elves are the children of human-elf pairings. Some, however, are the children of parents who themselves are partly human and partly elf. PHB p18
