I think I prefer the idea of the Dragonborn being somethink like Half-Dragons from an ancient time (The Arkhosian Empire perhaps). The 4E Half-Elves and Half-Orcs have become their own race after many years of intermingling as well. And maybe Half-Dragons are more like Tieflings, in that they were "corrupted" by using Dragon Magic, rather than the Dragons being like Zeus in their mating habits.Maybe an approach is to provide alternative creation myths. Some say the first Dragonborns where offspring of humanoid and shapeshifting Dragons (Half-Dragon). Others say Io created them in his image (Dragonborn). Others may say they developed when the first humans mastered arcane magic from the Dragons and infused themselves with draconic power (Draconians?). Others may say they were created by Dragons, as a slave race perhaps (Dragonkin?).That all doesn't change that I am okay with or without Dragonboobs.</blockquote>
