> Google boasts about its racial and gender diversity Does it? Because the metrics it reported just this year says it's made up of mostly still white males.

  Everyone should read their annual diversity report. Publishing their data is commendable, though they don't break it down far enough to be able to fully determine the intersectional proportions. As an example of what is in there, for their tech workforce, whites have declined from 57.8% to 43.5% in four years. (see page 33) You can decide for yourself whether this suggests racial bias in hiring.

The corresponding stat for white males is a decline from 47.5% to 33.3% in four years. Stunning.
