My father has some racist tendencies and I usually bust his balls about it. I kid around with Mrs. Chow who happens to be half Mexican that I wished she was black just to **** off my dad.
I am an white male (French) and my current girlfriend is Hispanic (Cuban), and even i will notice or even stare at (not that i do it intentionally or to purposely make someone uncomfortable) interracial couples, whether they are WM/AF, AM/WF, BM/WF, WM/BF etc.
it is curiousity. i merely like to see who happens to be hooking up with who
i guess i will even do other things like see of one partner is more attractive than the other, guess how they got together, etc When i would rarely do this with monoracial couples.
When dating non-white females/ males, do you feel other people staring/noticing you in public? Like when your in an interracial relationship you get more stares/ noticed then when in an mono-racial relationship. How do you feel about that? Has it ever made you feel uncomfortable?
Why is it that interracial relationships get more media attention? E.g. Kobe vs Shaq.
I feel that a lot of interracial couples are fine in private but perhaps at least somewhat reluctant to show public affection, go certain places, hold hands, etc. what are your thoughts?
Maybe they are staring because you are both gorgeous?!

I have a dad like that too. It must be the generation.
I grew up an Army brat & i proudly served in the military of our Great Country. I've always had Sisters & Brothers with different hues of skin color. I Love Everyone that Loves me............................
I highly doubt anyone is staring in Los Angeles, mixed couples are extremely common around here so it is not much of a novelty. It probably happens outside urban areas.
I agree. Here in LA, you almost see as many interracial couples as non-interracial couples.
A sampling of some of my close friends:
Russian female with Black male - Married
Persian male with Asian female - Married
White male with Black female - Married
Asian Male with Hispanic female - engaged
White female with Persian male - Married
White female with Hispanic/Middleastern male - Married
Jewish male with hispanic female - Married
Its very very very common here in Southern California. No one notices, no one cares about it. Its just people who found love with each other and are happy.

Where DO you come from????
Interracial couples are hardly a new thing...W H Y would anyone stare?????
When i lived in Monterey, CA i was dating a beautiful gal who had a huge Hispanic Family. They pretty much adopted me into the Family.......................................... ................Salute.......................
This, I am not concerned about. It's the inter-galactic staring that really pisses me off!!!
OH! I had no idea you had noticed my stares. I guess I better expect my replacement soon. It was nice staring at y'all while it lasted.
