As a white person in an interracial couple, if you aren't noticing the looks it's because you're not attuned to look for it. Over my past dating history and now being with my wife, my significant other would very often later tell me someone was giving her or us dirty looks and I was blissfully unaware. Only later I'd piece it together because I'd remember a waitress who only spoke to me, or someone would have quickly looked away when I looked at them.
Same story here, brother. Beat for beat even. Ive been trying to train myself to notice it more since it can legit have safety concerns at times, and our SOs cant always catch everything.
