We know that cross race relationships or intercourse is seen badly and quite taboo in most of Eorzea, so it's not so much of a stretch to imagine that the resulting halfbred probably don't have it too easy most of the time, at least in the fact that a lot of people probably don't know what to do of them, or don't want to face the possibility of their existence: if your families or close relative find it disgusting, they probably aren't always going to be very kind with the offspring.

Worse, the majority of roleplayers pay little heed to the lore of their racial choice in favor of merely doing as they please (there's heaps upon heaps of miqo'te who totally don't have any kind of tribal connection and are completely monogamous, for example). 

Note that I don't especially disagree with the deeper meaning of your statement here, but the lore and the game itself goes a great length to present you heaps upon heaps of miqo'te who totally don't have any kind of tribal connection and are (more or less?) completely monogamous.

In the former case, most of those that live in cities or among the general population (aka, not in tribes/clans/traditional structures), and in the latter case, I have at least one directly that comes to mind as seen in one of the sidequest in Ala-Ghiri.
