The choice was forced once-only, when Aerindel and Gulwing landed on the shores of Valinor bearing the Silmaril. The Valar, being faced with the quandry of figuring out whether he should be allowed to leave alive or not, solved the problem by making him choose whether he would be counted as an elf or a man. The rest of the half-elven were given the same choice and that was what sundered Elrond from his brother Elros, as each chose a different allegiance. After that, there were only elves and men. Genetics aside, Elrond and his descendants were all elves, not half-elves. Arwen's choice to follow Luthien's path was, perhaps, one that any Elf could have made given sufficient incentive. Certainly, very few ever had that incentive once the Valar ruled that marrying a Man would result in the loss of your immortality and place in the Halls of Mandos.
