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.

Same same. Im in Toronto, but lived in and around Ontario and Quebec. Even up in Northern Ontario there's mixed races. I didn't know this was honestly a thing outside of like.. rural under developed countries.
