Unless, of course, they don't. :) I can't stand talking shop outside of work. Silicon valley and San Francisco are so full of technologists and associated ancillary professions it's a pretty miserable place to live--they've displaced all the people I'd normally want to be around.
Not that I have much choice on where to work or live! I work in technology, so why would I want to live anywhere else? Just shut up and move to SF already, you'll love it!
- toephu2 9y agoCulturally though, people do for the most part. Whites hangout with Whites, Indians with Indians, Chinese with Chinese, etc.. it's not racism, it's human nature.
- drb91 9y agoYea, that is true. But it’s not something you will be happy assuming about other people. Fwiw I mostly don’t get alone with people that look like me; this mostly ends up with me being quietly alone so i don’t offend anyone.
