Wicca is a very, very new religious path and they don't try to hide that one bit. Anyone who says that family ancestry plays into it is going to be very young indeed. Race has nothing to do with Wicca at all, so that's never an issue.
There are several Pagan and Heathen paths that do indeed focus on culture and ancestry, but Wicca is not one of them.
Absolutely not. You can be any race to practice Wicca and practicing the religion (or any religion) is a choice, not something that runs in your bloodlines like being royalty or alcoholism. I come from a line of Protestant farmers. If religion was an ancestry issue, I would be a Christian. Heck, we'd all probably be pagan, because that is where it began.
Not really. Now, your ancestry may have a pull when it comes to which pantheon you find yourself most drawn to to incorporate into your beliefs and practice. Race doesn't have anything to do with it at all. Then again, neither does gender which makes me wonder when you are ever going to ask a question that begins with "Wiccan Guys", because, you know...they do exist.
Not at all. I'm Wiccan because the religion makes sense to me and does not conflict with my Prue-existing beliefs and values. One could argue that my love of anything that has a Celtic lean is due to my Irish ancestry, but if that were true, I wouldn't be mildly obsessed with Japanese or ancient Egyptian culture as well as Celtic.
Would you drop the "Wiccan Girls" address? Wicca has plenty of male adherents as well, and it's rather annoying to see you address Wiccans as if they were all female and young enough for the term "girls" to apply. We have both men and older women among our numbers, so stop trying to group us all under the term "girls". I get that as a troll, the concept of asking a question without some attempt to insult the group you are addressing is a difficult one, but I'm sure you can be adult enough to get past your trollish tendencies.

Why just girls? boys are accepted in the Wicca faith just the same. However, with that correction made,
No. race and blood lines have nothing to do with it, It was all personal choice based on tons of research for me. It was what fit together the best, and I've always been kind of an "earth loving hippie" because my parents were part of that movement, and even though they technically weren't hippies, they like the way these people lived and their lifestyle,m as well as a lot of the views of the hippie era. I would say more my upbringing than "blood line". My parents(and step parents) were all Christian, but never went to church and didn't push religion on me, they wanted me to find my own path and take on what suited me best as long as it involved a higher power. I think it was more because they supported my free spirited nature.
It has nothing to do with why I believe in WIcca itself, although it may or may not have something to do with the particular deities who have called me to service.
