Orange County’s mythos is so well-known among our type of people that it’s not an oddity, but in a vacuum you’d expect a 63% nonwhite county with a significant college-educated white population that’s also the major suburb of LA to be more of a blowout for Dems than it is.

To be fair, a significant portion of OC's nonwhite population is Vietnamese, and this is the one Asian ethnic group that is R-leaning (due to the political leanings of their ancestral homeland, although younger generations tend to be more D-leaning).

In terms of Miami-Dade, it's not just Cubans who are right-leaning, but also Chileans, Colombians, and Venezuelans (the left-leaning Hispanic groups are mostly Mexicans and Puerto Ricans). Additionally, in Hialeah (a city with a high concentration of Cubans), the share of people with higher education is also relatively low (about 20%), which is another factor contributing to its rightward lean.
