Potentially, societies that have accepted strangers into their midst have adopted a mindset such that they are willing to accept not only strange cultures, possibly their ideas too. So multi-cultural societies might be readier to adopt new ideas.
On the other hand, there may be backlashes in some societies. Apparently, subgroups within the sometimes majority may feel threatened. And possibly the majority group in the society may feel that their way of life is superior, since obviously the immigrants admire it enough to move there.
Can you cite some examples of societies which support your hypothesis?
