It's not exclusive to asians.
People will always go with people that are similar to them, because it's what they know, and it's their comfort zone.
Not all people mind you, but a lot of people have grown up around a certain culture. They'll seek out this culture if they have to, so they can find a place to belong.
For some, staying in these communities, they then become afraid of change. So they look down on unfamiliar practices and people.

Because they live in Asia - the largest continent. Kind of the same way that Alaskans seclude themselves so much.

I know plenty of outgoing Asian-Americans. Maybe they just seclude themselves because they're afraid of you. ;) Really, go to a big city and you will see lots of diversity, not in seclusion!

Most asian do have a strong bonding with their families and if they make some friends outside the family it will be few and very hard to get in to their circle of trust. I guess it also add up their being shy.

You must be deluded to think Asians are secluded, myself included.

Racism refers to various belief systems maintaining that humans can be separated into various groups based on physical attributes and that these groupings determine or influence cultural or individual achievement or the essential value of human beings.
The word "racism" itself appeared in the 1930s, both in the English language and in French. This can lead to hostility against individuals based on a perceived or ascribed "race". Racism often includes the belief that people of different races differ in aptitudes and abilities, such as intelligence, physical prowess, or virtue. Most individuals who use the concept of racial categories believe that different races can be placed on a ranked, hierarchical scale. By definition one who practices racism is known as a racist.
W.E.B. DuBois argued that racialism is the belief that differences between the races exist, be they biological, social, psychological, or in the realm of the soul. He then went on to argue that racism is using this belief to push forward the argument that one's particular race is superior to the others.
