Half-Drow Appearance For in character purposes, Half-Drow will be viewed as and treated as legally and socially indistinct from full Drow by in character polities and NPCs. Further, characters that are Half-Drow must have their standard in character appearance depicted at character creation and thereafter with dusky skin and silver or white hair, with a broad range of eye colors allowed, per DM Team interpretation of Forgotten Realms lore on the topic. Characters that date before this ruling and that do not comply with the appearance ruling herein may request a one-time 100% RCR, but otherwise normal RCR rules will apply.
I understand that the DM team want half-drow to actually look like half-drow and not half-elves.
What I don't understand is why suddenly half-drow are given the same legal and social status as full drow? They have always been lesser to full drow. I would really like an explanation from this lore deviation.

We were speaking of the surface for that. I see the confusion. I will update it. Thanks for your feedback.
