Other than being human is there any other race (paizo material) that lets you get a bonus feat at creation? Like an archtype to a race?

PF1 doesn't have "archetypes to race." There are plenty of class archetypes, and plenty of one-race-only class archetypes, that get specific bonus feats at first level.
You may be thinking of "alternate racial traits." There are plenty of those that can give you specific bonus feats. Half-Elves, for example, can take Ancestral Arms (replaces Adaptability) to get Weapon Proficiency in any one martial or exotic weapon.
As per the Retraining rules, you can simply retrain a racial bonus feat into any other feat of your choice; e.g. you can retrain the Skill Focus feat of a Half-Elf into the Spell Focus feat or the Wilding feat, if you want to (and qualify for the feats).
It's not as versatile as the human bonus feat, but half-elves gain Skill Focus as a bonus feat at first level.
Well, in a campaign with hero points you might be allowed to opt out of them, in favor of a bonus feat. It's up to your GM, the "Antiheroes" sidebar makes it an option.
Dual-Minded Half Elves basically get Iron Will that stacks if you actually get Iron Will.
mainly looking for something like weapon focus or quick draw specifically. I did NOT know you could retrain racial feats though, thats pretty cool.

well yes and no. since when you retrain a feat you get to pick from the same list you could have taken the feat in the first time, but with your current abilities (like your higher bab). so you can only pick what was available to you when the race gave you that feat. if it call for a specific feat it must be that.
so half elf can retrain to a different skill focus. a human for any other feat they can take. but an orc who got endurance must take only endurance (or replace for anything the race allow to replace for it).
same for class bonus feats. a fighter who retrain a bonus feat can only pick a combat feat. not say item creation feats. a wizard can only a feat from the list for his bonus feats, so no combat feats etc.

that may be the INTENT, but that is not stated like that anywhere. There is nothing that says you have to retrain skill focus for skill focus for example, but there are rules that say you can retrain any feat for a different feat.
there is nothing that says it has to be from the same selectable list if its a racial bonus feat, but there are things that say as long as its a feat you can take right now, you can retrain into it.There are things about CLASS feats that say that, but not anything about race
Feat
You may change one feat to another through retraining. Retraining a feat takes 5 days with a character who has the feat you want. The old feat can’t be one you used as a prerequisite for a feat, class feature, archetype, prestige class, or other ability. If the old feat is a bonus feat granted by a class feature, you must replace it with a feat that you could choose using that class feature.
Note that this retraining is unrelated to the fighter ability to learn a new bonus feat in place of an old one at certain class levels. That class ability is free, happens instantly when the character gains an appropriate fighter level, doesn’t require a trainer, and can happen only once for any appropriate fighter level. Retraining a feat requires you to spend gp, takes time, requires a trainer, and can happen as often as you want.
Can I retrain a feat to replace it with a feat I didn’t qualify for at the level I originally gained that feat?
Yes. As long as the new feat is a valid feat for your current character, you can retrain the old feat and replace it with the new feat.
For example, if you are a 3rd-level rogue who took Improved Initiative at 1st level, you can retrain that feat and replace it with Weapon Focus. Even though Weapon Focus has a prerequisite of “base attack bonus +1”
Custom Races allow for a Bonus Feat for 4 RP, if your table allows custom races.
In general, retraining Racial Traits should follow the Racial Trait retraining rules though, even (especially) if they grant a feat.
"Should" is just your opinion, not the rules. The only restrictions on retraining feats are for a) feats used as prerequisites and b) feats from class features. Feats from racial traits are neither a) nor b).
Personally, I recommend retraining racial feats right at your first level, so you can get more of the precious "can only be taken at 1st level"-feats like Fey Foundling (to wit: "1st level" is not the same as "character creation").
Way back in D&D 3.5 there was a halfling variant (strongheart?) which got a bonus feat in place of the general save bonus.
