Physical, yes.
Lore ones, i'm not sure.
What's rule 34?I'm saying it's reasonable to assume that a Dragon is able to approximate the mechanics of racial traits through their mastery over shapeshifting, and their willingness to adopt particular cultures.
It'd be the same reason Druids are able to obtain new traits of certain beasts. They're not just taking the physical traits of a beast, they're taking in their mannerisms as well. But they're just approximations, since you aren't actually turning into a Bear that is able to communicate with all other Bears in the world. And let's not rule34 this discussion.
How do you know they can't communicate with other animals?
I'll say it's arguable in some cases of racial traits, but you're making a compelling argument and i don't wanna clog this thread more with circular debates. So, i'll settle for ok.They would be there because your Dragon chooses to take up that form and culture.
No different from being affected by humanoid CC's. A Dragon in mortal form has all the strengths and weaknesses of a mortal, whether it's their ability to punch really hard, or be rooted by some vines. Then we can theorize having class mechanics that help sell the idea of playing a Dragon, like having access to tail swipes and fire breathing, or a Shapeshifting cooldown that breaks CC's your mortal form is vulnerable to.
The idea is an 'adjustment' of what Druids already have. Your Cat form has Stealth, increased movement speed; your Bear Form has Taunts, stuns and higher Health and Armor. Your Seal travel form has underwater breathing, your Stag travel form can be ridden as a mount. Your Beast forms are vulnerable to Hibernate and Scare Beast.
All of these animal traits are accessible through shapeshifting; therefore it's reasonable to assume that a magical creature known for shapeshifting into mortals could have access to mortal racials just the same.
What?Blizzard's own lore explanation is that a Worgen can't be a Monk because they can't control their emotions. Can't remember source, could possibly be a blue post somewhere sometime, or some twitter reply.

Not a source, but an anecdote that repeats what I've heard
I just heard a 3rd reason, that lore-wise goblins and worgen lack the self control or whatever to be monks, that goblins are too greedy and worgen too wild. But I think that’s also ridiculous.
Their whole starting zone explains how they maintain control. That's why you turn into a human and don't stay in Worgen form all the time. They've been through rituals to maintain control:
