In this article, I examine the cultural meanings attributed to former professional U.S. tennis player Michael Chang (from 1988 to 2003) and offer counternarratives to tropes of American diversity and inclusiveness commonly found in stories about him. I first discuss the model minority discourse and its implications. Then I examine how the model minority discourse was embodied through the medias Orientalist representation of Changs Asian American body and how his model minority identity was used to make sense of the Asian American athletic bodys success in the White-centered tennis field. Finally, I examine Changs images in television advertisements and explore how these images satisfied the New Rights conservative desire to create a rugged-individual persona to prove that the American dream remained a possibility without state intervention, even for minorities.
