No, it can't because there's a distinct line between a cultural interest and heritage and waving a flag at every given opportunity. Cultural lines go smack through the middle of many countries. To take the UK for an example, I don't think, the Scotts or Welsh want to be culturally the same as the English. Same goes for most countries obviously. The Germans are an assembly of many cultural groups and heritages.
So, one is nationalism, the other is simply feeling at home in a certain place.
