Answer
In the UK, you can potentially sue someone for defamation if they falsely call you a racist, which could harm your reputation. Defamation law requires proving that the statement was untrue, damaging to your reputation, and made without justification. It's important to note that statements made in the context of public interest or opinion might also be considered under the defense of honest opinion. Consulting with a legal professional is advisable to understand your specific situation and the potential outcomes of a defamation claim.
