I would think minorities in particular, the people who want equality through inequality (NAACP, affirmitive action, etc) would give you a break for being different, but it is the opposite... irony... I would suggest you just ignore them, cause if they are ignorant enough to stare in the first place then they will just be ignorant if you confront them...

Dude.. you are SOOOO the poster child for the "young republicans".
The ignorant typical "right wing" B.S. that comes out of your mouth is funny.
A. I think in general not staring is a TOTALLY western phenominon(sp)...
B. Most hispanics and blacks (especially those who hangout outside of their houses) stare at EVERYTHING... and generally make insensitive jokes and what not... BECAUSE they're subject to it, be it silent or spoken hispanics and blacks catch shitty looks ALL the time... so they feel MORE comfortable dishing it out themselves.
C. Most non-whites are mystified over little crap that they've not seen before.. (white people are too they're just too scared of being caught staring to stare.)
People especially low income people are not too concerned with other people feelings and most times I don't think it's meant to insult or offend...
I've gotten TONS of dirty looks/stares from rich white people when I look like a scumbag in their town...
I used to work a gas stations and I've got LOTS of stories about people looking down on you or staring at you regardless of birth deffects...
My best suggestion would be to not get angry about it...
If they stare just start waving your arms around and be like
"WOW... omg something different..."
or
again while waving arms
" esta paquito.... esta problema para tu???"
"they're small.... is that a problem for you??"
Or something like that (I only speak kitchen spanish).
I'm sure they're decent dudes but when people don't comunicate or there's tension in a relationship (no matter how non-existant the relationship is) it's only going to escalate by allowing time to pass... they'll feel more comfortable not talking to you and staring and you'll get madder and madder till you do something that may turn it into something it never was.
