Sorry, i forgot to mention this would be interfacing on the main
thread from c
does this still hold true? Like if a c call returns does it kill the
places?

I'm not really sure what you are asking: it sounds like you are wanting
to embed Racket into a C program ... if that is the case, then the
primary thread is in the C program and any/all Racket threads will be
secondary.
I don't know that Racket's place API even works in an embedded
scenario. You certainly can create multiple threads within your C
program and run Racket in them, but it's hard to share a Racket
environment, and if you create a separate execution environment for each
thread, then their operations will be independent of one another.
If you just call a Racket function from C, that function will be
executed in the same thread as the caller, and it will return to the
caller when it finishes. Of course that function could have side
effects such as signaling a separate Racket thread to terminate.
A lot depends on what you are trying to do and how you structure your
solution.
