It depends on what you mean by "culture fit": is from the same social culture (watches the same tv shows, enjoys the same activities etc.) or professional culture (dress code, communication style, etc.).
The former is clearly ripe for abuse, the latter is more legitimate (though also a place to tread carefully).
