While being Norwegian is often associated with being white, the absence of a discourse on race makes it difficult to analyze racialization scientifically. It is sometimes argued that critical race theory is developed within an American context and that it is not culturally relevant in a Norwegian context. We argue that while this might be true in some cases, critical race theory might nevertheless give new insights into how racial practices and colonial structures continue to be important parts of the power relations in Norway. We base our article on two empirical materials from a Norwegian-Sámi context and from professionals in Norwegian child protective services in order to illuminate how racialization is expressed. In our comparative perspective and collaborative and self-reflexive writing process, we use the concept of interpretive repertoire to explore how postcolonial and critical race theory is a challenging, but nevertheless useful approach to analyze racialization and discrimination in Norway.

尽管挪威人通常与白人有关，但由于缺乏关于种族的论述，因此很难科学地分析种族化。有时有人认为，关键种族理论是在美国范围内发展起来的，而在挪威范围内它在文化上是不相关的。我们认为，尽管在某些情况下这可能是正确的，但批判种族理论仍可能对种族习俗和殖民结构如何继续成为挪威权力关系的重要组成部分提供新的见解。我们以来自挪威萨米语背景和挪威儿童保护服务专业人员的两种经验材料为基础，以阐明种族化的表达方式。从我们的比较角度以及协作和自我反思的写作过程中，
