Even if said race was not hostile or violent, would they really want to take the chance that the stupidity and violence that dominates the human race could spread beyond the Earth?
It is highly likely that an advanced race would see us as a stain upon the universe, ready to spread its influence, and it would decide to nip the problem in the bud.
You are rying to think like an alien. there is no possible way you could know what an aliens thought process would be like.
Just as you cannot really know what a wolves thought process are like.
if you try to empathise you are just thinking what a human would in that situation.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
