I am doing a research paper and need some examples of the effects of racism in your community. I have writer's block on a thesis statement, so i need some help!

You need to do research. If you don't know how, ask a librarian.
AFTER you have done some actual academic research, and are able to make sense of the information; then you can decide on a thesis.

The greatest, and worst effect of racism is the birth of political correctness; the premise of which blindly assumes that all whites and any behavior therefrom is offensive to everybody else; and in that vein, that all other races have been oppressed and 'offended' by whites. The result is the theory that the entire white race must necessarily spend the next 5 centuries or so in apologetic servitude; forever to be branded as 'white' while all other races receive pretentious, contrived labels such as 'African American' and 'Asian' or 'Latino', all to be capitalized and uttered with hallowed reverence. Along with this newly found contrived respect, the aforementioned 'everyone else' will receive all kinds of subsidies and other accommodations in order that they be allowed to rise to the perceived level of affluence (because after all, are they not entitled?) that whites have ALLEGEDLY enjoyed.
Of course, that will not be allowed in your paper, because Political Correctness necessarily labels Truth as something that is mean spirited and hurtful, and therefore unacceptable. And Political Correctness is the rule of the day. I remember Freedom. You are probably to young to have experienced that concept. Pity!

Well I am a white woman living in a community of hispanics. I find them to be very racist against whites although they are in my country (most illegally). Every note from my apartment office is in spanish (not english). In my area, the hispanics are racists. Litlte children using words like "bolia" when I walk by. Those children had to hear those words from their parents. If I would call them a name, they would screem racism but it seems to be ok for them to do it, although I do understand that they are ignorant of manners and all.

I live in an all-white community. So I don't really know of any effects here.

why don't you start with questioning your initial premise- IE. that racism may not effect your community. Why do you blindly assume that it does?
