I think you sank your teeth in to the wrong piece of meat.

You seem to be taking issue with the the fact that organizations use culture fit to veil their racism, sexism, etc. I am not denying that happens and I believe that is wrong.

As I said in my previous post, my point is that, "It's a less tangible, but collective agreement about purpose and objective." It has validity, value and relevance.

Maybe it's the term or your experiences that prompted your response, but that's really not the conversation I'm having. If you want to post something about calling it something else, or have a conversation about, "when culture fit goes wrong..." I'd probably participate in that too.




"Collective agreement about purpose" is why sexism and racism pervade this sort of thing, though. Because the purpose is not what is stated. My contention is that there is no fundamental difference between what I am saying and what you are saying and that, while I believe that you might have good intentions, you're providing a shield for bad behavior.
