- NEW!

It's not against the law (although that is a fairly recent development in US history...:-P...), but it is still unusual.
The vast majority of people tend to date/marry people quite similar to themselves in ethnicity/social class/religion/etc.
Hence, when that vast majority sees people NOT following that path, they get a little uncomfortable ("What are those strange people doing?"...;-D...)
In general, the uncomfortable majority do not mean you any harm. They are just having trouble dealing with their own insecurities.
I suspect that if you are patient, your feelings of 'abnormality' will fade as you get used to other peoples' reactions, and their ultimate lack of effect upon your life.
Good luck.
