The book seems to contradict itself to me, the first few pages where they show the new subtypes seems to suggest that that they do count toward obtaining feats that list the related type as a prerequisite, but when you read under heritage feats in the feat section it seems to suggest that it doesn't.
To further add to confusion, under the Mixed Blood trait is this line: "Unless noted in the benefit, you do not count as the chosen race for prerequisites."
On hindsight, maybe this means something else...

Race and Type have been argued before as being two different things. Drow is the race, but Elf is the subtype, and Humanoid is the type. A Elf Bane weapon would hurt Drow, same as anyone with the Elf subtype, however a Drow Bane weapon only hurts the Drow. A Drow can take his racial archetype but a elf could not take the Drow's racial archetype or vice versa, but they both can take Arcane Archer as a prestige class.

now that i said that i see where i messed up, Race =/= Type in their explanation. So I guess there is no confusion, just a bit of clarity is needed between race and type(subtype)
