Wikipedia has racial demographics as 65% white, 24% other, 4% black, 3% Asian, 1% Native American, 3% "two or more races". Of those, 42% identified as Hispanic or Latino. That's a high amount of minorities but it's still clearly a white-majority county, and considering usually low Hispanic turnout rates it's voting patterns make some sense (it's also possible these are Texas-style, more assimilated Hispanics).
Interestingly, the demographics of the largest town, Liberal, are quite strange -- it's both more white (69%) and more Hispanic (a full 59%).
