This sounds more like a feature of the SF Bay area tech scene rather than Google in particular. Many young skinny-jeans-wearing progressives here quite openly harbor grossly ignorant steroetypes of a wide variety of unacceptable cultures: the south, the midwest, Republicans, Christians, and conservatives, among others. When challenged, they typically deny that their cartoonish, caricatured views of these groups are stereotypes, and insist that that's simply the way it is. Just wearing a button-down shirt (or, God forbid, a tie) is more than enough to stigmatize you as "one of them" and get you instantly ostracized (while they simultaneously loudly trumpet the value of diversity and tolerance.)
