Odd that Trump is supposedly gaining ground with black and hispanic voters.

It's not that odd. Black and hispanic men typically hold more conservative social beliefs than Democrats in general. They also tend to be more supportive of traditional conceptions of masculinity, which aligns more with GOP attitudes on society than that of Democrats:

Where do two crucial Democratic constituencies, Black and Hispanic men, fit in? It turns out that in terms of self-defined masculinity, they are far closer to Republican men than to Democratic men, according to Cox, Lee and Popky: “A majority of Black men (55 percent) and Hispanic men (52 percent) say they are very manly or masculine.” On this measure, there is statistically virtually no difference between Republican men, Hispanic men and Black men.
