I'm highly skeptical of this premise. I don't think large numbers of Americans dislike/are uncomfortable with the Indian professional families in sprawl, especially relative to other ethnic minorities. They tend to be highly educated, high earning, speak excellent English, kids are smart and well behaved, and they assimilate very quickly.
The extended family thing isn't that rare around immigrants. In the NYC metro, particularly, homes are often built with accessory apartments, long predating Indian migration.
Central Jersey around Route 1 has gone from like no Indians to maybe a third Indian in a generation, and it's pretty much the same as always. It's about as much as an issue as Catholics taking over from WASPs in Coastal CT, or Jewish suburbs slowly transitioning to more religious.
