I'll bet, I just tell my east indian buddy, "you're people are weird" I don't get some of the things they do really. But generally, in the US, they are law abiding, quiet, pleasant and able to take the abuse people heap upon them which is a prerequisite for customer service here. Americans typically deal with all of that a lot worse. I've worked for east Indians and I have to say that they can be mean and very cheap to the point some people just won't deal with them but there are always a variety just like there are anyone else.I white areas, sure. Because they're the minority. If you go to an Indian store in an Indian part of a Canadian city, they can be very hostile
Of course there will always be the people who will complain that so many of these different, new people won't dress or learn the language and sometimes, the language/culture barrier is a pain in the ass but overall, I've never had an immigrant try to do the things that some of the americans in my life have with their lifestyles and religions.
After covid, for whatever reason, we had a huge surge of east-Indians, that's why I mentioned my east Indian buddy complaining about it, he really isn't in a position to complain about it. But he's right, we just suddenly have so many here, don't know what the policies or why that is happening or if there is some overarching conspiracy to change the overall world but I don't get it. As I said though, I have no control over it and those folks are generally just doing what I'm doing, just trying to survive without unnecessary problems or hurting anyone.
