In the 1970s, President Nixon instructed the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to categorize the ethnicities and the OMB conjured up five major racial groups: white, black, Asian/Pacific Islander, American Indian/Eskimo, and Hispanic. Americans prefer to stay separate and the Canadian model's structure focuses on diversity, influencing America to place different ethnicities in their own specified 'major category'. Unlike the Mexican model, there is no 'joining of two worlds' or mestizaje society in America.
Mexico views race mixing and cultural blending in a very different manner compared to America. According to Rodriguez, the Mexican model accepts biracial or multiracial manners. As early as the 18th century Mexico a predominant population of mixed race people. Rodriguez gives background on the Mexican model; it accepts interracial marriages and the country has a history of it. While the Americans adopted the Canadian model that disapproves of race mixing and cultural blending, Mexico accepts and supports the two. Rather than seeing themselves as separate or different, Mexico sees themselves as a whole with other ethnicities. In other terms, they are the 'melting pot' that America historically deems itself to be. Although in actuality, Americans are the 'tossed salad' that would rather stay in their own bubble.
Rodriguez introduces himself as a mestizo, which is a person of mixed race, especially of a Spaniard and an American Indian. He proposes that, ".instead of adopting the Canadian model America [may adopt] the Mexican alternative― that of a mestizaje society" (89). As immigrants come into America, they bring their culture along with them. One cannot simply forget their own culture therefore it cannot be forced away, and that is what the Mexican model is based on. The Canadian model, on the other hand, supports separatism, which isolates one race from another.
