I’ve been trying to brainstorm racial feats. Rather than giving races bonus feats at certain character levels these feats should just be additional options for a character of that race.
Here is an example of some Elvish feats I’ve come up with.
Add Elven Racial feats to the Elven Racial traits page:
BREADTH OF KNOWLEDGE
Your long life has allowed you to experience many things.
Prereq: Elf
Benefit: +1 to any three different skills of your choice.
IMPROVED DODGE
You are exceptionally quick.
Prereq: Dodge, Elf
Benefit: Your dodge bonus increases to +3.
ONE WITH NATURE
Your power is bolstered by your connection with nature.
Prereq: Able to cast spells, Elf
Benefit: +1 caster level when casting animal, plant or weather based spells.
SPELL KNOWLEDGE
Your mind comprehends magic better than most.
Prereq: Wizard Level 1, Elf

Your light weight and long strides gets you places faster.

WHIRLING ATTACK (COMBAT)
Elves with fighting prowess can be dangerous to flank.

Your fluid movement and keen senses often get you out of harms way.

Prereq: Elf

Didn't happen to get that from somewhere aye?
Yes, I did modify yours a bit but Caladors should be credited with the Elven Grace idea.
FEY HERITAGE
Elves, by nature, have an enchanting way.
Prereq: Elf, Wizard Level 1

ELVEN BOW FOCUS
Elven archers with their keen senses are deadly accurate with their bows.

ELVEN BOW SPECIALIZATION
Elven elite archers are renowned and feared.
Prereq: Elf, Proficient with Bows, Elven Bow Focus
Benefit: Elves with this feat gain an additional +1 to attacks and +2 to damage when using any bow.
(Yes, these feats are better than their generic conterparts but they are supposed to represent that elves tend to be better at using bows than any other race.)
No harm done just give ya a bit of a ribbing.
SWIFT OF FOOT

Change that to "[...] if wearing light or no armor." and you're golden.

I was thinking that they would replace Focus and Specialization. I guess a note would have to be placed within the feats to say that very thing.

Yes, of course that makes more sense.

Now let's say my elven fighter takes Elven Bow Focus at first level and wants to take Weapon Specialization (Longbow) at fourth level. Would the EBF replace WF (Longbow) for the Specialization prereqs?

I would say:
Elven Bow Focus replaces Weapon Focus Longbow.
Elven Bow Specialization replaces Weapon Specialization Longbow.
So, your Elven Fighter would take Elven Bow Focus at 1st level and then would take Elven Bow Specialization at 4th level.
