How do you check that? I've found reporting on race in tech to just be absolutely horrible with numbers. Whole stories where the only number is "Google repots X percent of Y race." It tells me absolutely nothing without comparing that to demographics of where google has offices, and what the demographics of cs students are, among other things, and I've never seen that info.

The article addresses that directly. The author talks about Google more or less abandoning its Atlanta office, where a diverse workforce is easier to get than elsewhere.
