Why do you think they would do this rather than use cheaper, less socially equal immigrants to supplement the host societys losses?

Many countries would reasonably fear the loss of their culture to such an influx.

I wonder if you can come up with a convincing explanation of what "culture" is beyond skin color.

Customs and traditions mainly. Political issues of note, along with the range of said issues. Major religious and spiritual practices. Art, music and film style.

All of those sort of things tie into a culture. America is "Multi-cultural" in that we take on a myriad of aspects from immigrant peoples cultures, which a lot of other countries explicitly resist doing so. Though yes, ethnicity, if you're talking a regional power, is a major part of culture as well. Russians are pretty insane about it at times when it comes to their geopolitical stances. Israelis too.

Oh no, we used to have a film industry but now it's 100% nasheeds.

I mean yeah, it'd certainly be lamentable if Hollywood became more like Bollywood. Not everything needs to be a musical afterall.
