I'm multiracial, my girlfriend's white, and no one has had a problem with it. Of course, it would be unreasonable for someone to suggest that I stick to my own race.
The biggest question race-minded people have is "what race are you?" (to me) which I guess would need to be answered before they could determine that we're interracial and form a judgement about that. I never answer that question -- I think if people can't tell, it's better that way -- so they don't have the opportunity to make that judgement.
Hundreds of times more significant for relatives and other people are our differences in national, cultural, and religious background.
