This study explores how Korean American/immigrant adolescents make sense of race and racism by investigating their understanding of discourses of colorblindness, essentialism, and the Black-White binary. I interviewed 23 adolescents of Korean heritage in two Midwestern cities, and during interviews, I used elicitation techniques that included images and video clips to facilitate students' verbalization of their racial ideas. The study finds that, instead of completely appropriating or resisting dominant discourses, students interact with them in complicated ways. Students in this study played an agentic but still limited role in understanding race and racism by challenging dominant discourses on the one hand but at the same time partially accepting them in other responses. Although discourses of colorblindness, essentialism, and the Black-White binary are prevalent in schools and society, the students resist these by drawing on counterexamples from their direct and indirect experiences and their knowledge of social issues. However, simultaneously, their thinking reflects dominant narratives in more subtle ways, such as upholding their beliefs in U.S. racial progress and inclusiveness, glossing over stereotypical jokes, and underestimating the importance of Asian (American) issues. Drawing on Bakhtin (1981)'s concept of internally persuasive discourse, this study explains students' complicated responses as their struggles to develop their own racial perspective by negotiating between their marginalized experiences and dominant discourses. In addition, to explain why their understanding is partial, I discuss that counterexamples drawn from students' experiences, despite their potential to dispute dominant narratives, were not cohesive nor systemic enough to be called counterstories that might have provided students with alternatives replacing dominant ones. I also employed sociocultural theory to explain that this partial development of students' counterstories resulted from the relative scarcity of counter-narratives available to students.By showing students' simultaneous refusal and acceptance of societal discourses, this study points to a complex picture of students' conception of race and racism, one that is neither mere reflection nor complete negation of hegemonic narratives. This informs educators and researchers about how not only to extend students' prior knowledge and experiences but also to move students beyond hegemonic discourses on race and racism. Furthermore, by focusing on Korean students' distinctive and complicated understanding of race and racism, this study challenges both underrepresentation and stereotyped representations of Asians/Koreans as model minorities and perpetual foreigners. This complex and agentic picture of Korean students calls on teachers and researchers to recount them as crucial and active participants in the discussion of race and racism.
