The words "macho" and "machismo" come from Portuguese. I've been told that Latino South and Central American machismo culture is very toxic compared "even" to US standards.

But then again, I didn't really put much stock in vague generalizations like this, or yours.

Don't they come from Spanish, since most of South America was colonized by Spain and the words also exist and are more commonly used in Spanish?

Regardless, point taken, it's not a US-centric problem.
