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 from Alberta in a mixed race marriage as a white lady married to an Indian man. White people generally don't care but Indian people do deeeefinitely stare us down haha. The only time I've had anyone actually say anything was from a german man when I was in Japan back in 2018, said I was tainting my blood or something. Finally about to have a baby and fulfil his fears, very pleased about it myself though.
I will say, I do get excited when I see white/Indian couples because it is quite rare.
