There are many dark-skinned followers of Judaism on the island of Madagascar. Apart from that Judaism is a surprisingly small religion and mainly limited to areas where it has a long tradition (it is relatively difficult to convert to Judaism).
There are many Caucasian followers of Hinduism in the North of England (mainly people who have married Hindus and joined the faith).
Just because you don't get out much doesn't mean nobody does.

Yes, I have seen a black Jew and an Asian Jew. Judaism accepts converts. The only issue is that Judaism does not actively seek converts so the vast majority of Jews are not converts or descedants of ones. Thus, the end result is that most Jews are white.

Actually, I was under the impression that Hindu attracted many different people due to the implied peacefulness of the religion. Isn't Richard Gere or Harrison Ford or someone along those lines practicing Hinduism (among other people who are doing so)?

Yep in fact Sammy Davis Jr. a very well know black man converted to Judaism. There is a tribe in Africa that are of the Jewish faith. The Indian people are of the brown race and the are mainly Hindi So I think your premise is wa-a-ay off.

Yes, there are many Jews of African descent. When I was a kid, I remember the big famine in Ethiopa, and the Israeli government went and gave the Jews who there the opportunity to immigrate to Israel to escape the famine.
There are also non-Indian Hindus. Hare Krishnas consider themselves Hindu and their headquarters is in West Virginia.

I have seen examples of both.
There are Jews and Hindus of all colors and upbringings, just as with practically all other religious faiths.
