How are we born a specific race.?

Answer 1

....because you are whatever race your parents are.

Answer 2

Your mom and dad's DNA combined to make you. You got half of your genetic info from each of them, so you end up with your mom's eyes, your dad's nose, your mom's intelligence, your dad's love of gardening, and so on. "Race" is really just a label that we put on a jumble of differences in appearance common to people from certain areas (there's no evidence that race has anything to do with personality, intelligence, etc). So if your mom and dad both have the "white" look, you'll get all "white" features and be considered white.

It's more complicated, as race also tends to have a lot to do with culture, so if a mixed-race kid looks mostly one race, but grows up identifying more with the other, then they may decide to identify as race B. However, taking away the culture element, the races have as much meaning as "green", "green-blue", "yellow-green", and so on. Useful for descriptions, but still everything's ultimately green.
