Is that something someone could select if they roll the "Raised by Civilized Humanoids" background generation piece? Like, let's say a human rolls that and gets Gnome. Would that human get their normal +2 to any ab score AND be able to chose the Gnome racial ab score modifiers of +2 Constitution, +2 Charisma, and –2 Strength? I don't see it written ANYWHERE one way or the other. It straight-up just says select any one racial trait from the adoptive race.
I guess the simpler version of the question is this:
Does the ability score racial trait count for the traits gainable through "Raised by Civilized Humanoids"?

There's a difference between the racial traits they're talking about here and the ones you use to build your character race. As confusing as it is, they're talking about the racial traits from the trait system, not the racial traits from the race system.
In short, no, you can't get the special ability scores, because it's not the same system they're talking about.
For reference: background generator.
