Oh, for the love of... There was an error when the chapter was first published, thus this everlasting ghost of of quote. The correct phrase was "Because you are the offspring of a human and..." then Isshin appears.

The anime made this much more clear, when Ichigo says he no longer needed to hear the rest of the sentence, since the answer was standing right in front of him, referring to how he was seeing his father as a Shinigami.
