This brief essay considers how US xenophobia and racism function through autopoetic rhetoric. It examines the self-regenerating story that designates Asian American migrants as always-foreign, forever-threats, and never enough. While the analysis centers the experiences of second-generation Asian Americans, it has broader applications for examining how controlling narratives infiltrate law and policy, and it argues for the centrality of rhetorical studies in disrupting harmful mythologies.
