I don’t understand this Writing question and need help to study.

Vasconcelos’ vision of Latin America as the birthplace of a new (5th)  race that was destined for greatness seems a far cry from the events of  the 1500s. The arrival of the Spaniards brought exploitation and misery  to the populations of the natives residing in the Spanish controlled  areas of the New World.
The arrival of the Spanish and the  subsequent mixing of bloodlines with those of the natives would soon  create a new sub-culture of mixed race people known as  “Mestizos”(Mixed). As time goes on, this new sub-class, small at first,  will come to form the dominant cultural force in Latin America. 
The question is this…
How  did they get from European invaders/colonizers and natives… to a land  of “Mestizos?” How do we arrive some 400 years later to a point where  intellectual culture not only identifies itself with a brand new race,  but also comes to envision itself as superior and destined for  greatness?
Directions: Read pages 4-11 of the Vasconcelos essay “”The Cosmic Race” and watch the video “I am a Mestizo.” 
Question 1
What is your initial impression of this document? Is it racist or progressive? Is it both? Is it neither? Explain.
Question 2
Consider the following quote from Vasconcelos
“The white race has brought the world to a state in which all human types and cultures
will be able to fuse with each other. The civilization developed and organized in
our times by the whites has set the moral and material basis for the union of all
men into a fifth universal race, the fruit of all the previous ones and amelioration
of everything past.”
This  excerpt is considered controversial by many western scholars. The claim  is that this essentially creates a justification for Imperialism. 
In your opinion, does this quote constitute a justification of imperialism? Why or why not?
Question 3
Choose  one quote which you found to be the most impactful, for good or bad.  Explain why you chose this quote. What was  interesting/shocking/right/wrong about it?
Question 4
In the video “I am a Mestizo”, identify one remnant or parallel between Vasconcelos’ ideas about race and those of the speaker.
Question 5
Salvador  Acevedo’s notion of being mixed race (Mestizo), and thus existing in  multiple cultures simultaneously, seems quite distinct to how the people  of the United States view themselves. But that’s just my opinion, what  about you? 
Do you find this viewpoint significantly distinct to  how the people think about themselves in the United States? How is Mr.  Acevedo’s view different? Or is it similar?
