We're speaking about a world were dwarves hatch from eggs, people's hearts can be ripped out and they stay alive, dark warlocks hunt fairies and make them explode, vegetables are means of transport (portals tbh, as are mirrors and hats), shapshifting murderers can walk on water, a woman can be turned into a serpent and later into a magical staff, True Love can be bottled and put inside dragons (which are actually evil witches), monkeys can fly and magical tasers can kill a piece of wood. Do you guys really want to assume that in that world the logic of genetics can't be somehow altered?

Besides, they could've adopted. We've seen kings adopting babies before in the show itself... I agree with adopting thing, but it would be highly racist to show pair of black people altering their genes to get a white child. It doesn't have to happen deliberately but I can just imagine the salvo of accusations coming to writers' addresses.

It would be highly offensive given their severe lack of POC characters. Then out of this small family, give the brother the biggest chunk of screentime and, oh yeah, make him white. People would be furious and rightly so.
