I read Eleanor and Park for the first time back in 2013, and reread it in 2016. Upon my first read I loved it and didn't notice the rampant racism. Neither did I notice it on my reread, even though I liked it less. 
 Here are some sources on why the book is racist. Seeming how these were things I was completely blind sighted to and feel more people need to know.
