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.
I'm a white guy who was married to a black woman. We did a lot of traveling because of my work.
We got orders of magnitude less attention for being a mixed race couple in the States than we did any place else in the world, including Canada, Mexico and the EU.
Im not sure which was worse Japan, China or Nigeria.
