Not just Asians, this was a shot that was given in the upper arm for most people before 1965-70? It think it was the tuberculosis one but I forget. Reading the person before me, I think she's right, it could be the smallpox one. Anyway, something they don't give any more is why younger people don't have the scars.

Most of the people my age have those marks. It is from some type of air gun used to give the shots. (small pox, i believe) The shots were actually given in school when I was in early grade school (mid-70's).

I think those shots leave those marks because they were a long time ago and for that reason they leave bigger marks.
