That's downright childish

Worked for a guy in corporate banking during the late 80's/early 90's that did the same thing with Miami(O) resumes. He felt like all the preppie students in Oxford were from too much privilege, and did not know how to be tough and work hard.

And then we wonder why things like Affirmative Action have to be in place... Just hire the best individuals. Good grief.
