Ok so I have this idea for a character and I need to know if this can be done. Ok the character is a half elf now from what I understand this race counts as both Human and elf. So my 1st feat I take is the Racial Heritage feat and I select orc. Can I take the orcs favorite class option's like the fighters +2 con to kill my guy or the barbarian 1 round of rage extra.
Racial Heritage
Prerequisite: Human.
Benefit: Choose another humanoid race. You count as both human and that race for any effects related to race. For example, if you choose dwarf, you are considered both a human and a dwarf for the purpose of taking traits, feats, how spells and magic items affect you, and so on

RAW:You cannot, just like as a half-elf you cannot take Elf or human favored class bonuses. The race favored class bonuses are not effects and they don't have per-requisites. They are solely there for that specific race. Traits and Feats can have a specific race requisite and the heritage would open those up.
Ask you GM how he feels about it. Rules don't always need to be shackles in a home game.

The CRB FAQ states otherwise, actually.
I'm not sure how what effect that ruling has on Racial Heritage, though. I'd lean towards it counting, personally.

To the OP, everything you asked is legal, even in Pathfinder Society (Edit: except the Orc FCB, nothing in the ARG for Orcs is legal in PFS).
If this is for PFS, be careful. If you're taking Racial Heritage to gain access to anything beyond Favored Class Bonuses there is a caveat: the Advanced Race Guide's goodies are still restricted to actual members of that race.
