80s baby here as well. Just for the record I'm white. Clifton isn't that bad at all. Like you said, people have this hard-on "Passaic bad" because the people are brown.
As someone that would travel through Passaic a lot as a teen, buddy lived near Costco, the people in Passaic never gave me as issue. I remember going to school 3 (early 90s) and I only had two Hispanic friends. Once the mid/late 90s happened, a lot more cultures started to come here. This was a welcoming addition in my eyes.
Clifton isn't all that bad, people make it out to be this terrible place to live.
