This is a popular narrative, but I suspect the reality is - many of these named groups also voted for Trump. Consider this front line report in Ohio.

"“OK. You want to talk about Trump? I voted for Trump!” I asked him if he was pulling my leg. He laughed. “No way. I may be a Muslim, but I am a businessman first and I am not stupid. Many Muslims here did. Under the table.” He added with a big smile: “We are Americans. We have diverse views also.”"

Anecdotal evidence is no evidence. The vote-count statistics in high-minority districts do not back up your suspicion.

Trump got 29% of Hispanic vote, 29% of Asian vote and 37% of the “other” vote.

Clearly there are a lot of minorities who voted for him.
