How does asexual reproduction avoid the negative effects of inbreeding?

Inbreeding and asexual reproduction isn't the same thing. 

The main problem with inbreeding is that most organisms, including us, carry a large amount of recessive traits that are harmful, but as they are recessive it's only a problem if both parents have the gene and pass it on, which of course is more likely if the parents are related as they then share more genes. 

While there are many kinds of asexual reproduction, asexual organisms essentially just makes a copy of themselves which functions just as good as they did so they don't have this problem.

The problem of asexual reproduction is that there is little diversity. Everyone is almost the same, which means that if e.g. everyone is weak to cold, and it gets colder, things turn out pretty bad for that population. The advantage however is that it's easy and cheap and they can reproduce very quickly.
