South Asians in America: Redefining the American Dream

South Asian Americans are one of the fastest-growing ethnic groups in the United States. As the community's roots grow deeper into second and third generations, its achievements and cultural boundaries are also expanding. Nearly 5.4 million South Asian Americans live in the United States, according to advocacy organization SAALT. Within that group, people descending from India have a median income of about $100,000 a year, according to Pew Research Center. That is about $20,000 more than the national average listed by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
