Same problem here.
I've been to a few motels in the last few years. Every one we've been to was run by E. Indians except one.
That one was a Holiday Inn on the south side of the Potomac in DC. That one was run by Muslims. Every employee we saw was wearing some form of Muslim garb.
No offence, and not a personal comment, but imo Americans seem more confused about the difference between Sikhs, Hindus and Muslims. Maybe its a cultural thing, as all three groups are more fundamental to our culture and history than yours.
