    I lived there and went to high school there from 2008 until like 2018. I didn’t get the impression that overt racism was an issue in school although I could see micro aggressions being a problem.(I am white tho) But I do know the people that stayed in Plainfield after graduation and I could see it getting worse. It’s also far enough from “big dangerous Chicago” so I wouldn’t be surprised if it attracted a certain kind of person.
