I can explain actually! Midlanders dont actually have a homeland of their own, every area they inhabit was either co-founded by another group or they integrated. They're like rats in a sense, whenever a group pops up midlanders will find their way to them and be kept around as through numbers and might outright extermination would be hard if not outright impossible, its why places like ishgard or gelmorra exist, the elezen tried kicking them out when they flooded eorzea and they lost, funnily, midlanders then followed them into the places they fled to and became members of that community, to such a degree that when midlanders and the future wildwoods left gelmorra it started falling apart. Midlanders show a remarkable ability no other race has of being able to properly assimilate or integrate themselves into other cultures, this ultimately leads to racemixing, males have a higher chance of racemixing more than females(the latinos that pollute this thread are a result of that for example), thus midlander men will have the highest cases of miscegenation in xiv lore wise.
