Because asian people do not (let's say did not use to) consume dairy products; eg milk, cheese, etc. These contain calcium and the races who did not get enough calcium remained shorter. It has been observed among Japanese that the new generation of the last 30 years is around 10cm longer because now they are consuming enough calcium-containing food, thanks to free trade :)

because of the fact we consume nutrition that makes us tall and bigger (a lot of beef, potatoes, breads, pastas, and so on) All Asians consume is rice and noodles, and small parts. It does not take a rocket scientist to make your techniques up that this sort of weight loss plan won't get you very great.

diet is the main reason. europeans diet was/is mainly consisted of protiens like meat in particular; where, asians diet in general is made of rice. on the other hand, how come eastern africans (sudanese, somalians) are much taller than western africans!!! eventhough they are very similar in their way of living!

Actually there is little genetic difference.
Most of it was diet, but things are changing. In a few generations, us whiteys won't be that different.
