Race Trait in APG states:

Do half-orcs count as both orc and human for the purpose of choosing race traits? Do half-elves count as both elf and human?
My personal feeling is no, but wanted clarification (I tried searching and came to no conclusion based on the ramblings I found).
Also, Adopted (social trait) states

I assume that means if you are human you can't select a human race trait.
However, if you are half-human does it also prevent you from selecting a human race trait.
I guess this really depends on the interpretation of the prior statement.
My rigid interpretation:
- You can only select a race trait if your race exactly matches.
- You can not select an adopted race trait if your race exactly matches.
For example, a half-orc can only select the half-orc race traits (e.g., brute and outcast) and can select any other race trait as a adopted social trait (i.e., any except brute or outcast).
