I am going to answer this question first before a bunch of idiots come on and give stupid racist opinions about different ethnic groups.
I am sure there are ethnic horror writers out there; they just are not as well-known as their white counterparts. Further, I and a lot of people I know are both ethnic and horror fans. So maybe it's just one of those things, but I am sure there is no connection between ethnicity and enjoyment of the horror genre.

You just haven't met enough people. Living in West Africa, I can assure you that there are plenty of Nigerian films which are ethnic horror films, and my Gambian friends absolutely adore my horror films. The more hard core the better for them!
I think that in a general sense, what constitutes as horror is cultural in basis. Nigerian horror films, from what I've seen, is quite different from Hollywood horror films. There are many excellent Japanese horror stories/films, which are also distinctly Japanese. These Japanese films were sometimes remade into American horror films. For example, The Ring, Grudge, and so on,

you may have a point there. i have been browsing authors in the above website for 20 minutes now and found 1 indian author and a couple asian authors, but most of them are white as you stated (see website for yourself)
but i disagree with there not being enough "ethnic" horror fans or "ethnic" people who like horror films/books. I think when you visit a movie theatre premier of a good horror film you'll find a mixture of races in the audience. i'm black and i really enjoy Horror films/books myself :-)
Stephen King is one of my favorites!

The main reason, there are more white writers then black. Simple, isn't it?
