If culture fit is just code-speak for 'gets along with people and isn't a jerk' (aka agreeableness) then it's fine.
But things like sports, music, food--these are all highly culture associated. Even if you aren't mentioning race and even if you are not trying to discriminate--you probably are.
If it's the latter, then it's wrong (and probably illegal too). If it's the former, why call it culture fit?
