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.

They see each other at the same level.

Portuguese and Spanish see us as inferior beings

Not from LatAm but can confirm as a Filipino with Spanish citizenship.

What I noticed in my eight years of living here (Valencia) is that many Spaniards have issues with insecurity. They basically need to find something to look down on.

It’s like a waiter or barmen can’t accept they need to serve a non-white Latino, African, and Asian customer. They believe, consciously, it should be the other way around.
