Dallas definitely has more of a South Asian influence than Houston.
After NYC, the next biggest South Asian community in North America is Toronto followed by the Bay Area, Vancouver, Chicago, Dallas, and DC.
Detroit has a huge Arab and West Asian influence but not a huge south Asian one.
What are you considering South Asian though? I would argue, geographically, places like Yemen and Oman are South Asian … the Middle East is not a continent. Those nations are technically Asia and are on similar latitudes to places in Vietnam, Thailand, Laos … etc. (which is SouthEAST Asia … different than South Asia).
So to me, with the logic above, the other poster who you quoted would actually be correct about Detroit. Some Arabs come from 'South Asian' nations.

This is exceptionally high for such a large immigrant group. Kudos to them.
If they are on the same latitude as places in Vietnam and Thailand, I would argue that they are. Not the entire peninsula, but some areas.
Dude, it’s not a subjective topic. The census defines South Asia as India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Bhutan, the Maldives, Nepal, and Afghanistan.
That's kind of a shocker. I think the difference between Chicago and the Bay Area is that there aren't any single city out there that has as many Desis as Chicago proper, but I could be wrong. Why does the Bay have more than twice as many Desis as LA? Is it all Silicon Valley related?
