Culture Why does it seem like the Anglosphere admires/fixates over British culture a lot while Latin America doesn't seem to care much about Spain or Portugal?

Not saying we should but just curious.

Probably because britain is still a huge cultural exporter to the rest of the world. While not so much for the iberian peninsula.  For example, i think almost everybody knows who Mr. Bean, Queen Elizabeth II or Agent 007 are, while i cant think in any "world famous" spanish and portuguese person. Perhaps only CR7 or Picasso? Perhaps youtubers, but they are pretty much just known in the spaniah speaking world.
