In the 90s only 7% of Indiana's population was black. Most of those people were probably in large cities. So one black kid (and his family presumably) would be pretty out of the norm.

My friend actually did grow up in Indiana in the 90s and she said there wasn't a single black kid in her entire school. So yeah, that's a pretty accurate representation of what it was like back then.

Agreed.

Stranger Things is set in the 80s, so that 7% is probably generous. VERY generous.

I grew up in the 80s in the Midwest in the suburbs of a mostly-Black urban area. There were no Black kids in my elementary school (a few India-Indians and some Chinese and Korean kids, though). There were no Black kids in my neighborhood. There were 2 Black kids in my junior high (they were siblings). There were 10 Black kids in my high school (two in my graduating class of ~400, in the 90s).

Rural areas were--and still are--even whiter.

It's not inconceivable that there would be a couple of Black families in small-town Indiana, but it does strain the bounds of credulity that it would look like a United Colors of Benetton ad.
