Default Half-breed with two races and Super Munchkin with two classes - restricted items

If you play Half-Breed with two race cards, do you get to use items that say "Only usable by [one of your two races]"? How about items that say "Not usable by [one of your two races]?" I'm a half-Elf half-Dwarf, so can I simultaneously use Elf-only and Dwarf-only items?

This seems like a dumb question until you get into the semantics of what "advantages" and "disadvantages" are:

Advantages sounds like special abilities, monsters being weaker, and being able to use race-specific items. OK, it's definitely an advantage for an Elf to able to use powerful Elf-only items, or get extra bonuses like that one helmet that's like +4 for Elves but only +2 for everyone else.

Disadvantages sounds like monsters being stronger and not being able to wear items that are restricted against your race...could it also mean not being able to use items that are for a different race? Is a "disadvantage" of being an Elf that you can't use Dwarf-only items? If so, then there is a conflict with the "advantages" part of the card. On the other hand, if disadvantage means a specific negative rather than simply "not an advantage" then it seems like you SHOULD be able to use race-specific items but NOT race-exclusionary items ("Not usable by X").

How does multi-classing fit into all this?

If you're a half-Elf/half-Dwarf, you can use any Usable Only By Elf and Usable Only By Dwarf items. You cannot use any Not Usable By Elf or Not Usable By Dwarf items.
