To be clear: Google does not have a 'diversity problem'. They are very diverse, and minorities are well represented as a block. What they have is a 'not enough Blacks and Latinos' problem. And - 'not enough Females in management positions' problem, possibly. The underlying issue which some fail to address is the fact that if you only have 15% of tech grads female, and 0.1% African American - it's really difficult to have '50% female coders' or '10% African American coders'. Actually, I'd argue it's impossible. A really interesting survey I read saw that Males in the Valley tend to think that the 'talent pool' is the issue (i.e. as I stated above), but Females tend to think the big issue is a 'lack of role models'. Maybe I'm biased being a guy, but I do think that it's primarily the talent pool issue, but I do concede that 'lack of role models' is probably a concern. I think that this is a concern, but a soft one, and that if a company like Google - which is very open minded and progressive struggles with it, well, it's a tough one to crack. As long as they are trying to make inroads there, then that's good. I don't think that we should hold them to any specific standard or shame them.
