Building upon reflexive autobiography to theorize Asian racialization in a globalizing circumstance, this paper focuses on how race is constructed transnationally by global media, and how global interconnectedness continues to project white Americanness, racialized anti-Black aesthetics, and otherization of Asianness in and through sport. I trace three historical conjunctures to build a connection between the collective history and my self-reflection on social contexts: Americanization through global media, aspiration of whiteness, and the criminalization of Blackness. With this, I attempt to articulate sport as the most convenient identity-making apparatus in immigrant America. This article concludes by highlighting the importance of the intersectionality of the asymmetric power structures that redress the miseducation that elides Asian narratives from sport.
