I think what you might be missing a larger point, Jomoru. Not necessarily having a strong sense of racial lore, or 'culture' as you might call it, doesn't mean Midlanders are somehow inferior.
To take a real example, the United States, at least in my opinion, doesn't have the same types of strong and traditional traits you might find in European or Asian cultures. It is a result of the way the individual is seen in the lens of society that, like the Midlanders, American culture is less unified in comparison.
It isn't that Midlanders do not have any culture. They just have a different structure from the other races.
