Portugal has a growing Xenophobic attitude towards immigrants, specially Brazilians and this is reflected in linguistic prejudice.

They have concerns of portuguese children learning to "speak brazillian" because there is a lot more of video content being produced in Brasil than in Portugal and stuff like movies, videogames and software in general are avaliable in brazilian localization/adaptation first.

We have the same thing happening, on multiple levels, here too. First some Spanish parents are afraid the children aren't listening and watching enough Spanish media. Then additionally, some Catalan parents are afraid the children don't get to use Catalan in school so they don't become proficient enough to use it in society.

The Catalan situation is completely different and unrelated, being a completely different language and not endangered (with or without scary quotes, as you prefer) by an ex-colony that became independent. Actually many Catalans would like to be such ex-colony.
