That's a cute story. However there are vast differences in reality. The fisherman is likely an uncultured bigot and xenophobe with life experiences that reinforce this condition, and who will suffer terribly from the ailments of aging that the businessman's wealth can afford respite from. For example.
He's almost certainly exposed to more cultures, though you are right: he could be extremely bigoted and xenophobic. It's just less likely, even if marginally.
While we are making things up, I submit that the fisherman is an extraterrestrial who keeps his space faring ship in the sea. Every day he paddles out to check on his alien family before returning to his social studies back on shore.
