I'm guessing you mean petite as in weight size. If that's the case, then the answer is to look at the typical asian diet. Their diet is usually veggies, some fruits, some meat, but a lot of veggies for the most part. And what is often chosen is low glycemic.
Most don't over do in grains like american's do. Look at the typical American diet, which is mainly fast food these days, or pre-frozen or boxed dinners.
There's a book out at the bookstore called "Chew On This" it talks pretty much about the same topic.

Not all of them do. I've had rather big Asian lovers. A Japanese girl is 5'10" with 33"/23.5"/35" figure at 122 pounds. A Chinese girl is 5'3", 125 pounds, 38"/22"/35". I know a Chinese lady who is 5'5.5", 136 lbs. and has just 11% bodyfat. Size is hereditary. The three basic races evolved in and adapted to different climates. Asians show adaption to arctic regions. Being small and able to survive on a limited diet are vital when food is scarce. They tend to have long torsos and short limbs. This helps to preserve body heat. The thick straight hair forms a mat to keep the brain warm. Africans are from the tropics, so they need to disperse heat. Short torso and long limbs, thinner curly hair and deep skin pigmentation help with that. Food is plentiful in tropics, so Africans eat more and grow bigger than Asians on the average. Europeans are between such extremes.

Genes. . .I've inherited a petite body from my mom.
But, a lot of Asians are short due to diet, which lacks protein and dairy. It's healthier and hence Asians tend to live longer, but it doesn't promote physical growth as much.
However, for Asians with a "Western" diet, they tend to be just as tall, if not taller than their Caucasian counterparts. A lot of the tallest people on earth are Asian. A famous example is NBA star Yao Ming.

Asians are by genetics, smaller than some other nationalities. As they have children with people of other nationalities, some become bigger. It's an inherited trait.

That is how most of them are built, but not all of them. It is part of their genetic makeup. =)
