I think half-breeds being seen as a Thing has been around since the very first Dragonlance novels...Â
"Hi, I'm Tanis Half-Elven, and I hide my elf ears under my hair and grow a beard because elves and humans don't like each other and both shun me and I would actually be a cool main character if I was just human but that aspect of me that somehow always get mentioned even though I'm supposed to be hiding it puts me right into the Gary Stu department."
So, blame Tanis!
Another problem is it's hard to make it show. I guess one could use a Highlander to be a Midlander/Roe crossbreed but other than that, I have no idea... and another thing people frown upon is when someone plays a race that isn't in the options.
Sure, the options are limited, but RPing within the limits of the game and being special through RP is great fun!
