I'd be really curious to see the gender/ethnic breakdown of just the Google software engineers. As it stands it's hard to make a meaningful comparison between Google and the overall US population of CS majors.

They don't have the software engineers specifically, but they have the breakdown of the "Tech" people http://www.google.com/diversity/at-google.html#tab=tech

Exactly, it feels like they are artificially boosting the figures here because when people look at Google stats they think tech anyway. The Tech only figures are much more male-skewed.
