Lupa doesn't discriminate based on race, religion, etc. She believes in some core values (which may be e.g., truth, duty, honour, unity). She must have felt that Percy will uphold these core values, which makes him a worthy Roman as well.

Similarly, Chiron probably felt that Jason would uphold core Greek values (which may be creativity, freedom, celebration of beauty and diversity).

This isn't about Greek and Roman, or Olympians and Titans, as much as it is about yin and yang. If this makes sense to you, let me know. I'll make a thread on it soon.
