This car lot was nicknamed "Taliban Toyota" by a car lot nearby. They sued for slander and WON! I'm not sure what sort of judges we have running the courts these days.
That might be the case with people who know you, but this is a business and there are clearly racial issues involved. This is a business on which this person bases his livelihood on and he is dealing with people who do not know him personally. Look at how many people have the stereotype of what a Taliban member looks like.I suppose that the other guy shouldn't have done that, but someone calling me part of some terrorist or hate group would just get laughed at because everyone who knows me at all knows that there's no way that's possible.
You have a very good point. He is dealing with people who don't know him, who would likely believe in what his competitor said about him, considering that he comes from the Middle East.That might be the case with people who know you, but this is a business and there are clearly racial issues involved.
