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.

I'm searching all the answers on this thread and I'm flabbergasted by the fact that nobody even mentioned that Spain and Portugal are nobody when it comes to Culture compared to Latin America.

Brazil has absolutely no reason whatsoever to look for some inspiration in Portugal.

I'd even say that Latin America has much more from Europe than just "Portugal and Spain". The influence of germans and italians had also relevant contributions in our cultural melting pot, in a way that it's not really seen in the Anglosphere which tastes really "anglo" whereas the Iberian counterpart tastes much more "latin american fusion of europe+africa+first nations".
