I know this post is a few days old, just reading back as I haven't been in this thread for a while. Do you think this only happens with black/white couples? My wife and I are interracial, white/Indian. I cant say that we have necessarily felt like this while we have been out in Calgary. The only place that we felt a little uneasy that I can think of was when we were out and about in Invermere, BC one time we felt like people were looking at us. The biggest think we have noticed is that strangers often assume that we are not together. Odd little things like if we are standing in line and someone calls next and we both walk up the clerk has sometime looked at us and said something like "sir, she was here first, your next". That has happened on a number of occasions, but we just find that funny.
