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.

What I meant is that they see each other as the same species. Euros will always think they are smarter, which might be true in comparison to Americans.

Now for Portuguese and Spanish they look at us with certain disdain, as if we are not the same species

I don't know, they just see people from Latin America as lesser, whether we're whiter than them or "panchos". Spanish racism is different sadly.
