Why do Asians have black hair?

I have asked this of several Asians myself, whom are good friends, and they are saying more or less that while it is a predominate genetic predisposition it is also related to socialization of the Asian culture (homogenization of the culture to fit a certain image). Asians do come with a wider variety of hair color than what is seen in public, and many seem to feel compelled to color their hair that classic dark black we all see.

AS A GUESS:

If what is being told to me is correct - then I, as an Caucasian viewer, must imagine that at some point in Asian history during a military conflict a young man was sought for a crime and a relative (?) of very similar proportions took his place with the black hair and since then the black hair homogenization began.
