Antagonistic frames about minority groups are hard to dislodge. Their persistence limits the scope for conflict resolution in divided societies. The parliament that surfaced in Myanmar during a decade of opening (2011–2021) presents a case for studying how emerging legislators develop strategies for minority exclusion. Through a frame analysis of parliamentary discourses focused on the Rohingya communities across two legislatures, we reconstruct how lawmakers framed such a vulnerable group during plenary debates. We detected five adversarial frames deployed by lawmakers regardless of their ethnoreligious background or party affiliation: (1) denial, (2) invasion, (3) inhospitality, (4) racist othering, (5) sexualized demonization. We found a clear alignment with popular master frames deeply embedded in Myanmar society. We further argue that such antagonistic framing developed in parliament served two purposes: it delegitimized the Rohingya as an 'outgroup' in official discourse while seeking to homogenize the rest of society despite entrenched ethnoreligious divisions.
