My guess is because black people were the original people and then people evolved to have whiter skin for colder climates. Then European and Asians evolved their whiter skin slightly differently.
I think white people coming first and evolving to have black skin in hot climates makes more sense (does white skin even have any advantages for cold climates?) but then wouldn`t explain the differences between white europeans and white asians.

I meant facial differences

A really old explanation I've heard is that their eyes look smaller because the eyelids evolved as a protection aganst wind and snow. So perhaps the pre-Asian populations wondered north at first, evolved the eyelids, and then later some of them migrated southward in East Asia.
