Culture is learned, but there are a lot of intricacies that it would be difficult to pick up if you're presumably starting from scratch. Not to mention the breadth of diversity within each of the listed portfolios.

Just because they are not <insert race here>, does not mean that they have no ties to the culture or community. You don't know their history, and assuming that it is automatically incompatible with such a role is racist.
That said, I would bet than more than one of these officers are less than ideal candidates.
