At a first glance the racial category "white" on its own is obviously underrepresented at Google both relative to the population of California and relative to that of the United States.
California is ~79% "white" (2005 data here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_California https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_California ) whereas Google is only ~56% "white" (2017 data here: http://fortune.com/2017/06/29/google-2017-diversity-report/ http://fortune.com/2017/06/29/google-2017-diversity-report/ ).
