Xenophile

Xenophily or xenophilia means an affection for unknown/foreign objects or people. It is the opposite of xenophobia or xenophoby. The word is a modern coinage from the Greek "xenos" (ξένος) (stranger, unknown, foreign) and "philia" (φιλία) (love, attraction), though the word itself is not found in classical Greek.
In this usage it refers to those that like the people and cultures of Alien races. Earth itself having been suddenly rendered mundane and familiar by their very existence.
xenophiles want to rub alien cultures, and sometimes aliens all over themselves with glee. Aliens have varying reactions. The Vulcans are generally amused but somewhat put off, Ane dive right in. Most fall someplace in the middle.
