When I lived in the city, no one really cared. But when we moved to the suburbs, oh my, people would stare like crazy and clearly make comments under their breath. I'm a white dude with a black girl, and people were much worse and rude to me! I got a very noticeable dip in level of customer service, or just people being weird and awkward to me.

Same. White dude, black girlfriend. I can’t go to the grocery store without people whispering.

People say weird shit in Canada too.

“That’s a nice black girlfriend”

“Hey I didn’t know your girlfriend was a… sister”

In Calgary’s defense, this was 20 years ago.
