Come on, people, EVOLVE! Why do you even notice these things!? Calling attention to them is the wrong direction.
Where do you live? I'm in a predominantly liberal area and could not help but always be aware when I was half of a interracial couple. Stares, nasty looks, mumbled comments, where we were seated in certain restaurants ...

When we were alone, we were just a couple. But even liberal and tolerant Americans (both black and white) never let us forget about color when we stepped out the door.

Sadly, a lot of work still needs to be done, and several generations will be required for full evolution to occur.
