133. When my husband and I started dating 20 years ago (I am a euro-mutt and he
is Asian), it was much more unusual to see mixed-race couples around. When we would visit the Chicago suburb where he was raised, we definitely got some funny looks at the grocery. We still do on occasion (his suburb is pretty white and pretty backwards), but not nearly as often. We've also noticed how many more mixed race couples we see on a daily basis now than when we first started dating. Especially in the city. Sometimes we'll be out somewhere and it seems like it's the exception rather than the rule to see a non-mixed couple.
