That's a lame excuse. In one setting I used, half-orcs in one region were commonly the result of human settlers taking orcish wives - because life there was so harsh that human brides weren't readily available, while orcish ones apreciated the gentler treatment they got from human husbands. Of course, orcs were more like neanderthals than monsters in that setting. Contrarily, half-elves, called 'changelings,' were commonly believed to be hateful fey left in place of babies stolen by elves. A backstory is only as bad as you want it to be. You are just making it up, afterall.
And yet another word from our sponsors
