Every one stems from Abraham right? Jews are linked to the 12 tribes, Muslims come from judah, those of europe can trace some ancestors back to those roots. The Native Americans and Polynesians have links to Abraham through those who came to America from Jerusalem and the Tower of Babel according to the LDS faith. But where do Asians fit in? Did they just start with the Tower of Babel and we never heard from them? I've heard of a visitation in ancient Asian tradition of a great white God similar to those in South America and native Americans. How do they fit in with that history? Know any good books that explain it?

So far, I have not come across any books that give light to this matter.
But.........according to chinese characters, such as "boat", it does show relationship to the flood.
and..... the mythology of Heavenly kingdom in chinese, does resemble much of what christian faith is talking about.
I believe in time, we will all know how the human race come together as one big family, and race is just a dream in the past.

"Now the whole earth had one language and few words. And as men migrated from the east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there. And they said to one another, 'Come, let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly.' And they had brick for stone, and bitumen for mortar. Then they said, 'Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.' And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the sons of men had built. And the LORD said, 'Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language; and this is only the beginning of what they will do; and nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them. Come, let us go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.' So the LORD scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city.' Therefore its name was called Babel, because there the LORD confused the language of all the earth; and from there the LORD scattered them abroad over the face of all the earth." (Genesis 11:1-9)

Um, you missed the descriptions of the 12 tribes of Abraham. The Asian peoples are one of those 12 tribes.

Most of the Bible records events that happened on the Asian continent.

If you're banking on the LDS faith for your answers, no WONDER you are so lost and confused. REAL Scripture is the history of the Jewish people in the areas we call the "Middle East". No more, no less....and they were written to point the way to the REAL Jesus of Nazareth....not the "spirit brother of Lucifer".

How do white people fit in too? Don't pick on Asians. A lot of things don't fit.

Moses didn't know about Asians when he was writing the Torah.

They fit by simply having been created by God!
