Answer:

Rodriguez means that America might become a country with a heavily mixed races and ethnicities.

Step-by-step explanation:

The word 'Mestizaje' is a classic Mexican word popular in the Latin American world to describe people who are of mixed races. It usually refers to a mix between local native people and of European White people.

In the United States, there are over 52 million from Latin American countries and by some estimated over 35% of them might be Mestizaje.

The US does not currently describe Mestizaje as a racial category but it is true that not only are there numbers increasing but so is the population of mixed race children.
