/Sounds like 'pah-pah-nah-TEES-moh'/
Uncritical admiration of foreign things or famous people — the tendency to be dazzled by anything from abroad while ignoring quality at home. In Spain, papanatismo is the cultural habit of treating the foreign as automatically superior.
"El papanatismo hace que compremos marcas extranjeras siendo iguales las de aquí."
"Hay un papanatismo tremendo hacia todo lo que viene de Estados Unidos. → Blind admiration of foreign brands makes us buy from abroad when the local ones are just as good."
"There's a tremendous fascination with everything that comes from the United States."
