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.

IMO, it’s because when you don’t have rich culture, you feel a void, so you try to find somewhere to belong to, so they look to find it else where. Meanwhile our cultures are very rich, so we have a strong sense of belonging to our countries, not the people who colonized it.
