In an election from 2000 onwards (preferably presidential but anything goes), is there anywhere (counties, municipalities, precincts, etc.) in the country where at least one minority group voted more Republican than the whites in the area? I wouldn't imagine very many of these places existing if they even do.

This should be true of several Majority-Cuban municipalities in Miami-Dade at least until 2012 and might still be true in some locations last year.  In at least one poll that broke down Miami-Dade by ethnic group last year, Hispanic voters were well right of white voters on the countywide level even in the presidential race.

Any place in rural Texas, outside of the far south is a good answer. These rural Texan counties counties are voting 80-90%+ Republican every year in a absolute blowout. Texas would actually be a natural GOP vote pack if the state became more competitive because of all the wasted hyper GOP margins in the rural counties. These counties are like mini Chicago's, San Fran's and NYC's in terms of vote wasting for one side. The whites in these GOP rural counties must be voting Republican at a 80-90% or even larger margin. Texas Hispanics are more Conservative and Republican than Hispanics nationally as a whole. So rural Texas would have white's voting 80-90% Republican and Hispanics voting 60-70% range.

Hawaii 04 is a famous example.

To some extent this is true, cause a lot of those Hispanics are also not Catholic, they're mostly Protestant.

However South Texas is a different story...

Maybe San Francisco and Seattle. Whites here are very liberal.

Hawaii?

According to exit polls in 2008, whites voted for Obama 70-27 while Asians (the largest minority group) voted for Obama 68-30.
