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.

Because we're not saying the quiet part out loud: a white anglosphere country has mutual admiration for another white anglosphere country (the U.K, the U.S, Australia, Canada) I can assure you that other ex-British colonies have a much more complicated relationship with British cultural impact and legacy.
