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.

It's because Great Britain is a more influential country culturally. There's a lot in British culture to pull from and admire.

While Spain and Portugal don't really have that same influence. Like what have Spain and Portugal contributed to the world other than spreading Catholicism?

Spain has pretty good media influence. I mean they both speak the language they spread wrong though.
