Hi! Have you ever met a Hindu from Louisiana?
Why do you say Louisiana? Don't you know that Hindu is a geographical, cultural, and later religious identifier for people indigenous to South Asia?
Because there is a substantial concentration of South Asian immigrants in the southern US! 
I see. If i get you right, SOuthern US has inhabitants from sub-Himalayan SAARC countries and, for some authorities, adjoining countries to the west and east.
