The vast majority of people here in the United States know what a saree is. Why do I say this? Because I remember a television show where they made a pun based on the common sound of "saree" and the English word "sorry."
Not many decades ago, educated Indians had trouble finding suitable work at home in India. I attended university and later worked along side more than a few. Many never returned to India and their children grew up as Americans.
By the way, in the United States, you will find Indians living not only in cosmopolitan cities, but also in simple rustic areas, such as depicted in the film <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mississippi_Masala"><i>Mississippi Masala</i></a>. I live in a similar place now, and the pharmacist at a local drugstore was raised in India, as was the family which owns and operates a local motel.
The ethnic mix in my old New York City high school has changed a great deal since I attended, and now it includes many Indian-American students. You can see some of them in the following video:

By the way, this is the same high school which musicians Simon and Garfunkel attended half a generation before I did. You may know that Alizée listened to much of their music as a girl and that her favorite song is <i>Sounds of Silence</i>. Alizée has also said that her favorite subjects in school were Chemistry and Physics, and is yet another reason I like her so much!
