I would agree with your assessment of both groups with regards to American immigrants, but there is actually quite extensive persecution of Christians by Buddhists and Hindus. And all white people who profess Buddhism or Hinduism need to be sprayed with a power washer, both for the benefit of the actual practitioners of those religions and for the benefit of conservatism.

In all fairness, Asia is muddled as relates to Christianity.

The Chinese are still frightened of it, because of the Taiping Rebellion, to which Christianity had a tiny, indirect and unintentional connection, but has tarred Christians there ever since.

In other places, it is not religious problems per se, but political, ethnic and cultural problems that are unique to that country. In some of them, Christians are caught up in the misbehavior of Muslims.

Last but not least, there is still resentment about the colonial imposition of Christianity, though those most resentful were often the least imposed upon. Often it was the bad secular behavior of colonialists that Christianity has been associated with, though often the Christians worked to mitigated or end abuses.

The bottom line is that when these religions have come to America, unlike Islam, they have been very peaceful and orderly, with a few exceptions, like the Hare Krishna (founded 1966), that kind of went nuts when their US founder died.
