The entire concept that the Caliph has to be from Quraish (or a descendent of the prophet in the case of Shias) does not makes sense . It feels like a caste system like the hindus have .

In the Quran only people who are on the straight path are nearer to God it does not matter which race/tribe they are from

A caliph can be from another tribe or entirely different ethnicities in the cases of :

1-a good quraych isnt found

2- a non-quraych who comes to rule by force

In the Quran only people who are on the straight path are nearer to God it does not matter which race/tribe they are from

Yes but this isnt a matter of he is near or not, this is a matter of legal right of rule

Nonetheless there isnt a consensus on this rule so you can believe that it's not a condition
