no, not really. nuances in your culture are things that you really can't explain to someone who doesn't experience it. your heritage and culture are thigns that are not easily defined..because there are so many minor things that contribute to them. there isn't a hard definition for it.
my girlfriend isn't filipino and i don't think i've sold out anything. that doesn't make me less proud to be one either. i'm sure there are plenty of chinese in china who don't like bubble tea. it's a mindset, as i've tried to illustrate.
