That was sort of my point: it's not a reasoned stance (e.g. culture X is objectively superior), but an emotional one (e.g. I have an emotional attachment to culture X).

Let's be honest. Would you want to live in a culture where only certain people, based on factors that happened before they were born, can or cannot work? Pay less or more taxes? Can or cannot own land? Where women cannot walk freely outside?

Do you feel that your culture is better than that? Would you consider that an emotional attachment to your culture?

    I would say you could have those preferences and values without being a nationalist. In fact, there are dozens of nations who share those values.
