APG, p168
If I take this feat and select "elf" or "orc" as my heritage, would "half-elf" or "half-orc" also be included? I would assume the answer to be "No" as certain feats list as prerequisites "elf, half-elf" or "orc, half-orc." So that would mean a half-elf or half-orc cannot take this feat in order to access the racial feats of their ancestors? This leads to a human who takes this feat then also having to choose either "elf" or "half-elf," "orc" or "half-orc," since some racial feats specify the full-blood race only and some specify the "mixed-blood" race only.
(This leads to a human taking Racial Heritage - Half-orc and then taking the Razortusk feat to gain a bite attack and Smash to be really good at breaking objects. Neither are available to full-blood orcs.)

If you take Racial Heritage (elf), you count as both a human and an elf, but not as a half-elf.
Solely from the text, I could go either way on half-elves and half-orcs taking Racial Heritage, as they count as humans "for any effect related to race". Has this been clarified anywhere? edit: comment from James Jacobs
I agree that a human could take Racial Heritage (half-orc) and would have to do so to qualify for Razortusk.
Pretty much comes down to good story-telling in the campaign as to which way it goes. So, generally, I wouldn't expect to see a published product that has a Half-Elf with Elven Acuracy feat but if in our campaign the GM and the player hash it out and everyone's good with it, then it happens.

Ironically if you take Racial heritage(half elf) you count as human and half elf but not elf.
When you take the racial heritage feat for say, elf. you are considered elf and human. does that mean you get the elf racial traits as well?
No.
Would you gain immunity to ghoul paralysis by taking recial heritage elf?
The faq stated that the half elf gets it because he counts as elf-blood even if the half elf entry doesn't mention it.
And with the racial heritage you'd count as elf-blood, too. Or not?

Yes, you would be immune to ghoul paralysis. This is not a racial trait; the paralysis itself specifies the conditions that nullify it, one of which being that you're an elf.
