I'm guessing it's because Latinos and blacks in general are underrepresented in the white collar labor pools that Google draws from. Most Google employees, if not developers, are still in white collar office-type professions. https://www.ibtimes.com/racism-us-job-market-blacks-hispanics-underrepresented-white-collar-jobs-tech-2518568 https://www.ibtimes.com/racism-us-job-market-blacks-hispanic... According to that study, black people make up 2-3% of the white collar workforce. This indicates that Google's diversity initiatives are broadly working, but Google alone cannot overcome the societal issues that keep various people out of these well paying career paths. Hispanics represent about 5% of the white collar workforce, so again, the 3.5% indicates that Google is not exactly where one would expect, but still not as off as a naive analysis would seem. The narrative that Google is not hiring people of certain skin colors because of racism on their part falls apart the moment you look at numbers over which Google has little control.
