I guess from an introspective point of acknowledging my own ignorance a bit, I do typically try to avoid looking at a woman in a hijab but probably wouldn't if she wasn't wearing it. Several notes to add onto that statement though.
1) I don't mean gawking or checking them out just normal eye contact and awareness of the people around you.
2) I don't know them because if I did it would make no difference to me either way and I'd probably take the opportunity to ask about it and learn about the culture (again my own ignorance).
3) I don't treat anyone differently otherwise and don't think I fit in your category because I feel like the hijab means I shouldn't be looking lol
Anyways tldr; it's messed up even making it a thing to treat someone differently based on how they dress.
