Maybe this isn't a typical view of 'culture fit' but I would think of it more in terms of whether a candidate is reasonable, pleasant, friendly, etc. (matching the extent of those traits between the candidate and the company average -- maybe a company of argumentative folks wants to continue along that path instead). Such matching would, I think, have little impact on diversity of perspectives, neutrality regarding protected classes, etc.

Yeah, culture fit is different from culture add. If you keep fitting the same culture you can be limited in a number of ways, whereas if have some culture add there is growth (hopefully along good lines).
