The majority of the people from India living in the US has at least (the equivalent to) a Bachelors degree, otherwise they could not get a (non-immigrant) H-1B work-visa allowing them to work and live here. Indians here on a student-visa will continue till they have a Masters degree, as that gives a better chance to be lucky in the yearly H-1B lottery.

People from Europe hardly come on an H-1B visa anymore because H-1B means you have to sacrifice the life of their wife. These workers now come on L-1 visas.

So yes, a highly educated group, allowed in the US because of their ability to work in high(er) level jobs, will outperform the average USer when it comes to income.
