They seem to appeal just fine in the Bay Area. In fact, I'd say that the main sources of social hookups and favor-trading around here are (a) churches and (b) fraternal orgs... possibly distantly followed by college alumni groups and actual college fraternities.

I think just talking to an Apple dad about his life and priorities would be extremely eye-opening for a lot of people on HN.

I... have never been aware of anyone in the Bay Area going to either a church or a fraternal org. But I guess it depends on what circles you run in.

I would say that about 40% of my engineer peers belong to a church, but my circle tends to be pretty Korean/Asian. Church attendance is pretty ubiquitous around here. Larry Wall goes to a local church.

Weird that our experiences are so different. Do you mean Korean/Asian immigrants, or Asian-American?
