@unofficial4650 It's not really that bad in general.
But there's definitively geographic differences in that regard.
To evaluate how suitable a location is for immigrants look at their local election results.
In municipalities where FRP is strong you're absolutely right, racism is a big problem there.
(Doesn't mean that every FRP member is racist, but that's the party mainly prefered by racists).
Municipalities with strong supporty for FRP is likely to have more people that just don't want immigrants or refugees into the country at all, even if they're are a net positive for society.
Other immigration sceptic parties includes H and SP, but their anti-imigration policies is a much smaller part of their political platform so their popularity says way less about how people feel in the individual municipalities about immigration.
In municipalities where they dominate you'll find that people don't mind immigrants if they're a net positive impact on our society, but they want immigrants to integrate.
In the case of SP they see too much immigration as a threat to Norwegian values and would prefer immigrants and refugees to be as similar to other Norwegians as possible rather then maintaining their own cultural heritage.
In the case of H I'm not really qualified to say exactly what their immigration policy is and why, but as a left wing voter myself it seems to me that they're mainly going more immigration sceptic politically to not lose voters to mainly FRP although also SP, they don't seem like true believers in anti-immigration ideology as such, and mainly just wants immigrants to become (cheap) workers in Norwegian companies.
AP has also turned more immigration sceptic in recent years, but since they're further politically from FRP they're not really as threathened by the party, so they can afford to take a more pro-immigration stance then H does.
But they do want to keep immigration low enough to not threaten Norwegian wages and for the system to favour norwegian workers (think education in Norway or other nordic countries being the only valid and recognized education you can use without at least some local reeducation locally, your foreign education does matter, but you'll often have to add to it to qualify for Norwegian jobs)
SV, V, MDG, R and KrF are all pro-immigration, supporting both refugees and migrants.
Basically a good municipality to migrate into will most likely have a lot of AP voters (because they're just the biggest left wing political party in Norway and any municipality with a lot of SV, R or MDG voters is likely to also have a lot of AP voters) but more importantly for migrants, also a lot of V, SV and/or KrF voters.
