From my experience, contact with different cultures breaks down stereotypes and often helps avoid hate and bigotry. I'm a teacher in a very white, fairly xenophobic country. I can see in real time how our immigrant students who come from different countries, cultures and religions are forcing the others to face the fact that they are also just people and they are not that different. Sure, there is some pushback initially, but it never lasts.
