haha, I'm no where near as high profile or as elite as he is given his triple stanford background and time at a v20 firm.

I was curious for an average person because i've sent out a few resumes via email to firms without that posting in my objective and i've received responses from HR or otherwise asking if i'm a citizen or if i have work authorization for the US.  [/quote]

While I find that odd and disturbing (I have a nondescript American name and have never been asked that question except on the application itself), that they're calling you to ask indicates that they're interested, and they're not just discarding your resume becuase of your name.  Good luck.  People really suck sometimes.  [/quote]
