I'm Vietnamese - and I have never heard this from anyone before (not to say that his beliefs may not stem from some historical or superstitious beliefs). I would say that his beliefs are non mainstream though and are probably more attributable to him.

The concerns regarding tests are not only with immigrants but with minorities in general. Granted, not everyone who is a minority will score lower on these tests - but they are more likely to for any number of reasons already mentioned (e.g., language at home, access to materials). I'm not familiar with the SAT and ACT norms (how they actually create the different critera for grades on these particular exams) but if the population they base these norms on do not sample across people from different ethnic groups (in a manner representative of the population), then the norms probably are not going to be representative for minorities (whose scores may be higher or lower).

The vast major of children/adolescents involved in mass school shootings (e.g., Columbine) are also Caucasian.
