What is a racial trait and where can I find them.

[8 Red Wizards]

The only main source of traits I know of are in the Advanced Player's guide and the campaign books that require you to be a certain race, but I'm hearing those aren't racial traits. Also the person I am talking about doesn't mean the Races actual abilities.

Race traits are described in the APG, and can be found in many books.

Racial traits are inherent to every race, and can be found in each race's description.

There are no others.

Yea I didn't think so just seeing if anyone else knew of anything else besides those 2 things

There are two separate game mechanics that have similar names.

A racial trait is listed under the race's entry in the core rulebook, Advanced Race Guide, Bestiary or other source of the race's statistics. Later sourcebooks have alternate racial traits that can be swapped for these.

A race trait is one category among the traits that are listed in the Advanced Players Guide chapter 8, web enhancement and in other sourcebooks. You can only have one trait in each category, so only one race trait. Certain game abilities, such as a half-elf's Elf Blood, the Racial Heritage feat and the Adopted trait allow you to choose a trait from a different race.

Unfortunately certain published sourcebooks get this wrong, but it should be reasonably clear in context.

I know the person in question isn't talking about alternate racial traits, because he made it clear he wasn't. I let him know he'd have to pay me or make those alternate racial traits better to be worth taking it as a human.

Just to be clear OP, you are referencing to what are the racial traits as akin to the other traits we can choose from at character creation. Religion traits, regional traits, magic traits, etc. ??
