The religious composition is incorrect

The link used, https://www.pewforum.org/2012/07/19/asian-americans-a-mosaic-of-faiths-overview/, shows a different tally than the graph in the section on religion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.216.213.197 (talk) 19:24, 1 August 2020 (UTC)

Hi. You were right. The source did indeed show a different tally. Only two values were different in the article. Have changed them. However, hope someone else can replace the existing religious composition data with something a bit newer. The Pew Forum data is from 2012. Thanks.Intellectualyo (talk) 20:59, 13 December 2020 (UTC)

Misleading use of "Indian" term in data

So far as I can tell, the US Census bureau uses the term "Asian Indian" for anyone of South Asian ancestry, but this page implies this is data for people of Indian ancestry. This also discredits the article's claim NYC has "by far" the biggest Indian-American population of any city in North America, because that would make it Toronto (https://en.wikipedia.org/Demographics_of_Toronto#City_of_Toronto).

Request of adding slavery to intro

The United States enslaved Indian Americans for hundreds of years starting possibly as early as 1632 and continuing until the 1800s. Although most Indian Americans today are not descendants of these slaves, it would be beneficial to have this information in the lead of the article to give an accurate summary of Indian Americans and their history. Could the following be added:

Indian Americans have a long history in the United States, going back to when they were slaves in the U.S. starting in the 17th century.

If you are going to summarize their history on the lead, you should recap the main points of their history, the slavery of Asian Indians in the US forms a minor part of their history and it would be inaccurate to only mention that part of their history in the lead.
