Most Orthodox coming to the US are salaried professionals. Those of them who tile your bathroom or water your cucumber farms do not go farther than the EU. A lot of them are Catholics, as well.

The graph is obnoxious. Nothing really shocking either. Jews have money, and blacks don't. Any Klansman could tell you that much.

There is a very high amount of selection going on in the immigration process, so I don't think the high figures for Hindus are an anomaly. As far as identification - I don't think so.

What I find interesting is the fact that the Chinese and other assorted East Asians do not seem to be represented that well. What could be going on there? Because even considering the "Buddhist" and "Other" categories, none come close to the "Hinjew" percentages, which is decidedly odd given everything else we know.

There simply are too many poor East Asian immigrants.

I don't see anything like Taoism or Confucianism represented in the graph. Many East Asians (esp. Koreans) are Christian or Muslim. I also asume many Chinese immigrants and their descendants are at least nominally Atheist.
Also may be the case that Buddhists are represented by Sout East Asian groups more than North East asians.

I think part of the explanation may be in what Onodera cites (since I basically say as much in citing SE Asians) but I think its also a case of no single religion representing just North East Asians in a similar way to Hinduism tags Indians and certain Christian churches tag US Whites. The Other group is a mix of so many things from NeoPaganism to Animism to Vodoo to Coptic Churches to Cults that we can't really use that as a menaingfull proxy for Asians.

Also Asians immigrants have come in greater numbers than Indians for a longer time. It might just be a case of there not being enough US born Indians for regression to the mean to have a noticeable effect. Also the country is much more welcoming to non-whites than it was in the 19th this means they may have failed to accumulate as much wealth as later highly selected for immigrant groups will and we all know what a low % of kids do better than their parents in the US due to its social stratification.

Obviously the bigger religions are going to be lower.
