I assume you mean just controlling the element itself, without having to use a medium in your place (Zanpakutou and so on). You could have someone who gains unique spiritual powers through exposure to someone else with high Reiryoku (like Orihime), the closest to a "race" that does it would be Natureholders as far as I'm aware.
