Because half-elves fit in that line where they don't count as either human or elf.No, I mean why do full elves get basic rights and not half elves
The wording of such protections tend to be quite specific, that specific nature means that there actually can be a grey area. For example, a line might say "Those who possess an elven slave cannot punish said slave to such an extent that they require hospitalisation." There's nothing in there about half-elves or humans. And seeing how humans can't be made a slave, you can see where people can interpret those protections and decide that half-elves don't count.
