For example a lot of tech companies only hire entry level people from elite colleges. That leads to a workforce that is largely white and largely middle to upper class. Sure, the average MIT grad is better than the average boot camp grad, but there are also plenty of boot camp grads that are better than plenty of MIT grads.
