In canon and lore, any Dragonborn in Nirn's history has always been depicted as Man, chiefly an Imperial, Breton, or most commonly, a Nord. The primary reason for this is because Kynareth pitied Man during the Dragon War, and called upon Paarthunax to teach ancient Atmorans the Thu'um. Over time, Akatosh eventually gave Men the prodigious gift of having a Dragonborn, typically one or two per Era... Atmoran being impossible is actually part of the point I made about Tiber Septim's race.

How a Dragonborn is depicted in Lore & history is insignificant, as a Dragonborn can be of any Race and still have the same potential.

One might recall Miraak, an Atmoran Dragonborn who was born into the world before the Thu'um was taught to Nords during the Dragon War. Hakon and the others originally sought him out, before they were forced to rely on Paarthurnax.

Miraak's race certainly doesn't matter so much as his tyrannical deeds and negligence concerning Alduin. Miraak is too confusing to understand anything about him. I ignore him and that's the best thing to do. He was nothing but a bat-shit insane Nord. Other than that, you completely lost me.
