This study adopted a phenomenological perspective to explore the experiences of racial discrimination among second‐generation and higher Chinese Americans during the COVID‐19 pandemic. It focused on how these experiences are grounded in place and co‐constructed through conversation with friends. Twelve participants were asked to describe a recent conversation with a friend about racial discrimination. Four themes from their narratives are discussed: Moving Along Perilous City Paths, The Paradox of Visibility and Invisibility, Finding Place Amid Alienation and Shame and Transforming Spaces, Creating Home. Together, these themes form a holistic narrative of how Chinese Americans navigate between homeworld and alienworld. The study concludes with a discussion of its contributions and implications
