Not sure why you're getting down voted. An otherwise identical resume with the first name changed from Tyrone to Brad receives 3x callbacks for interviews.

Techbros.

People who have had a golden spoon in their mouth since birth and can't imagine a life where they didn't have their hands held to success the whole time.

They think that because they are not billionaires they aren't privileged and anyone can pull themselves up by their bootstraps, just like their great-great-grand pappy who came from Ireland and was treated pretty badly by the English in 1864.
