Sure, for hispanics in america, that is certainly the case. But I am yet to hear from an indian tv show that is broadcasted in america. I’m sure they exist, I am just unaware. I could imagine the religion (hinduism, buddhism, yoga) may find a space, but I am european and could also imagine that america is not the best place for that. Language is certainly another. There is a certain size of community required for culture to prevail in an otherwise culturally dominated country. I know that, because I live in germany and we have large populations of middle eastern and turkish people. They have strong communities. Very nice actually, often the most respectful people in our country. We also have Danes, which are a recognized minority, yet they do not really have any community. And while america is made up of 60% caucasians, with 18% being hispanic (I know not spanish), it’s only 4% asian, with 1.5% being indian. For reference, there are 50k danes and 1 million syrian in germany.
That all being said, the indian population is growing significantly outside of india, which is funny to me. So their diasphora in the USA will be growing as well.
It also has to do with indian traditions being less compatible with european traditions than hispanic culture. It’s the same as someone going to china. They won’t be holding on to their digital privacy for long.
On a side note, I have been getting into Buddhism. Not as a religion, more as a philosophy. It’s surprisingly good, though what else do you expect from a culture that is 10000 years old in comparison to our mere 3000. I won’t be becoming a religious person any time soon, but I find it brings just another view into my world.
Have a nice day and if you can’t bear the USA anymore, Spain is pretty nice right now.
Oh I moved long ago, and have been living in Finland.
When I spoke of the USA, it was before the internet was prevalent. Facebook was barely new as a concept once I was in university.
I imagine now though it’s easier than ever to keep cultural ties / influence with the home country of parents or grandparents, with the internet being ubiquitous. Back then, you basically were tied to radio and if lucky tv. If my Hmong partner’s parents can easily access content and news from Laos in the USA I’m certain it’s even easier for people originally from India to do so.

Hey, Finland is awesome. Congratulations.
