South Asians in Colonial America
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
South Asians had been present in colonial America since at least 1635 with the recording of an East Indian man named "Tony" in the Colony of Virginia. They were brought over as indentured servants and sometimes slaves who eventually assimilated into the dominant white and black American populations.[1][2][3][4]
