I'd say it's more just numbers, it's about the culture's status in the recipient country. While stuff like Indian food or Chinese food is super-normalized, you don't really see either culture dominating the US. Education does help, because it makes them seem "closer" to us, but a lot of the time a big culture will just end up absorbing all others that connect to it.

The total number of Indians in the US is ~3M [0]. Given the relatively miniscule number of Indians (or Chinese) in the US, I'd actually say both have had an outsized impact on the host country. "Dominating" is a different notion. I cannot imagine a peaceful path to that end.
