As Bort stated. Also there is category "others" as a demographic category now. It seems many voters - white, black, Hispanic, asian and everything in between are now choosing this demographic category "Others" as opposed to what they really are. Again fascinating to see people give a big middle finger to this demographic system. See these 2 data points 4 years apart.

On 10/01/16 there were 474,223 "Others" demographically.
On 9/26/20 there were 974,529 "Others" demographically.

Demographically, the choices are white, black, american indian, Hispanic, Native Hawaiian and Other.

The numbers of whites, blacks and american indians are down compared to 4 years ago and hispanics are up only modestly. The only category that has made a significant leap upwards in the past 4 years demographically speaking are the Others.

Adding to your excellent point, there is actually a sizable Cuban exile community in North Carolina. It’s not Miami-Dade by any stretch. It dates back to the Jesse Helms days.
