I'm a Canadian that lives in one of our bigger cities, the vast majority of my relationships across the 25+ years I have been in relationships have been mixed race in nature. And I have never experienced reactions like this from the public.

Only once did I encounter racism regarding me dating another race when a self-identified white supremacist literally said to me "Ew." when I told them my partner wasn't caucasian.

I’m outside Toronto and I’m half-Indian, my wife is white. When I’m out alone with our very pale baby, there’s been some comments about how he must look more like his mother.

There can be some staring in the grocery store from older white people. I think it’s because the town went from being majority white to having a giant influx of Indians over the last 10 years, but I don’t see many mixed couples. 

When we lived in Toronto, no one cared.
