This article utilises the concept of ‘race trouble’ as an overarching framework for examining an interview between Ms Vanessa Nakate and a South African news broadcaster. The interview describes an incident involving Ms Nakate’s attendance at a global climate change conference and her exclusion from a media report about a press briefing that she held along with four other youth activists at the conference. The analysis focuses on the collaborative and interactional production of Ms Nakate’s claim that her exclusion was racially motivated and the discursive mechanisms by which race is mobilised as a common-sense explanation for the incident that occurred. My analysis demonstrates the sanctionability of producing an accusation of racism and identifies the rhetorical functions of stake and facticity in its production, and concludes with a discussion of the relevance of these findings in the context of studies on race and racism in interaction.

本文利用“竞赛麻烦”的概念作为总体框架来研究Vanessa Nakate女士与南非新闻广播公司之间的采访。采访描述了一起事件，其中涉及中田女士出席全球气候变化会议，以及她与其他四位青年活动家在会议上举行的新闻发布会有关的新闻发布会被媒体排除在外。该分析着重于Nakate女士声称其被排斥是出于种族动机，并且动员了种族机制的话语机制作为对事件发生的常识性解释的协作和互动产生。我的分析证明了提出种族主义指控的可制裁性，并确定了利益和事实的修辞功能。 并在讨论种族和种族主义相互作用的背景下讨论这些发现的相关性。
