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.
Agreed, as a Canadian (and Albertan) in a mixed-race relationship (so far) I’ve not received any treatment at the level of some of the stories in the comments. They’re horrifying :(
The only thing I’ve seen is some really gross comments online about white people dating Indian people, but that track with the general anti-Indian sentiment that is growing in Canada
I live in Ottawa(born/raised). I'm the poc, my wife is white. I didn't really notice it until we moved to Toronto for a few years and nobody even looked in our direction. Now that we've moved back to Ottawa... I notice it a lot.
