    Placentia and Yorba are white areas yes

    Placentia has a substantial, long-settled Chicano population along with more recent Hispanic arrivals (together, 38% of the population), not only white suburbanites. Yorba’s a bit more Tricky Dick country. But both cities are quite ethnically diverse.

    migrants that are not even close to conservatives

    Up to a point. A lot of OC Asians and Pacific Islanders vote conservative. So do many members of other immigrant groups you didn’t mention, including those from the Middle East. That’s due to cultural conservatism and a belief that they’ll pay lower taxes.

    But I agree with you that nobody who knows Orange County well would describe it as “rich white snob country.” That might apply to the coastal fringe and some hilltop horse properties, but that’s about it.
