Indeed, you'd need to ask non-white, non-Asian employees about their experiences there.
Here's a post from November 2014 about a black woman's experience at Google: https://medium.com/thelist/the-other-side-of-diversity-1bb3de2f053e
It's a very interesting read, I recommend it.

The beauty of being human is that we aren't rational when it comes to managing our time. At least, for me, in terms of what has the biggest long-term payoff (e.g. making better friends v. reading articles two-levels removed from original HN linkage).
> But being busy has become a refrain and rationale for the things we don’t do, an acceptable and even glamorous excuse. My friend at lunch reminded me of what the Buddhist monk Sogyal Rinpoche calls “active laziness” – the filling of our lives with unessential tasks so we feel full of responsibilities or, as he calls them, “irresponsibilites.”
