I agree with your points entirely, but "culture fit" is a very ugly thing when used to exclude people that cannot be legally discriminated against. There's a reason these employment laws exist; people have a right to a job they are qualified to do regardless of whether they share the hobbies or opinions of the interview team.

I agree 100%. I mention trying to build rapport, but I really don’t want to work with a team that would exclude someone for “culture” the companies that hire for culture make it very difficult for the few outsiders that mistakenly get hired.

I always get invited to the good Ole boys club but I truly hate them. They turn out shit work and make for a really crappy environment for the people who are not in. Diverse teams are enriching and productive...buy not as fun or friendly.
