Sensationalist Healine - Whites are actually UNDER-Represented at Google America

http://www.census.gov/prod/cen2010/briefs/c2010br-02.pdf

According to the 2010 US Census, Asians make up 4.8%% of the General Population. Asians compose 30% of the Google workforce.

Whites (including Hispanic whites) accounted for 72.4% of the US population in the 2010 Census. Whites make up 61% of Google's workforce.

So, Google doesn't have an over-representation of whites. In fact, Google is as pretty close to parity with the general US population it can get with respect to Whites. However, Google has a significantly notable over-representation of Asians.

Why does this article focus on a "mainly" white workforce as if that is shocking in a country composed of mainly Whites?

The male to female ratio complaint is valid, but the racial composition complaint--not-so-much.
