"The Last Drgaonoborn" might not mean the final, it could just mean the most current one. Even Greybeards suggest that more might reveal themselves later, it is just rare for more then one to reveal in the same era. Also, if you are still arguing about the race determining weather you are granted the gift on not, think of who gives it an why.

Dragon Wars time, the Nords were suffering greatly at the tyrany of Alduin and his Dragon Cult, and couldn't do anything about it. Their Hawk Godess of Sky, Kyne (or Kynareth) had pity on them and granted them ability to use t'hum. Then, she and their deceased, Serpent God Shor, the husband of Kyne (commonly known by mer as Lorkhan) convinced Alduin's younger brother Parthanax to have mercy on Nords and teach them how to use their new found gift. Only because they were granted ability and because they were taugh to shout, Nords were able to overcome their Dragon Overloards, and they plunged their Dragon God Alduin into the steam of time, with the help of Elder Scrolls, hoping that he would be lost forever. The Ailyied slavery of men time. The cunning Heartland Elves, were worshiping to their Elven Gods at the same time as consorting with Daedra. Oblivion Gates were opened everywhere and Daedra were making sure that the slaves were not getting out of control. Akatosh saw the suffering of men and interviened. With his help, Oblivion gates were closed in Cyrodil an men were able to over power their elven masters, lead by Alessia. Later Akatosh made a pact with Alessia, joining his blood with the blood of her descentants. (and appearantly anyone else who is granted Dragonblood) By this pact, as long as the Amulet with his sacred blood is worn by Dragonborn rulers of the Empire and as long as the Dragonfires are lite, Daedra will never set foot in Tamriel.

The point is, that the devines decide who is the best suited to have their gift, in the time of greatest need. It might seem like the Akatosh seemed to have been granting the gift to only certain races, but not the others, but that reading too much into it. Who are we to know how devines are thinking. Oh now that I remember, about Redguards being Dragonborns during Septim Dynasty time. Cephorus Septim, brother of Potema the Wolf Queen and Magnus Septim. Also son of Pelagius Septim II, he was married to a Redguard Princess. That would make his offspring technically be Redguards and sine they were of Septim line, they would have Drgonblood. Unfortunately, they all perished in the War of Red Diamond (Darn you Potema and Uriel III). Cephorus was elected to be Emperor after angry mod killed his nephew Uriel III, but he had no heir by that time. So after him, the throne was passed on to his brother Magnus. As far as Dunmer concerned, there still a small chance of them getting the grace of Akatosh, even though they are Deadra Worshipers. Possibly those that worship Azura have better chance, since Azura considers more or less Anuic, rather then Padomaic. I hope this might clerify more, although comming from me, this might feel confusing.
