Alessia may have been a dragonborn, Reman was certainly a dragonborn, Miraak, Wulfarth, and of course Tiber Septim to name a few. The lineage part comes into play with the amulet of kings, it was gifted to Alessia and imbued with her soul to maintain the division between Oblivion and Nirn. Theoretically every race can be blessed by Akatosh, though I can think of no direct examples of non nordic/imperial dragonborn. This is pretty much it. Being a Dragonborn has nothing to do with bloodlines, anyone can be dragonborn. Although in saying that I would still say that the canon would make the last Dragonborn Nord. Simply because it fits in better. Of course everyone can believe whatever they want as Bethesda never makes it certain as to what the heroes in each game are. I however like to think that they are the race of the respective homeland, e.g The Nevarine was Dunmer, The Hero of Kvatch was Imperial, and the last Dragonborn was Nord.
