Valve probably doesn't do much. It happens in so many games and happens so often that it's impossible to stop it. You can report people or either ignore or mute them. Don't even listen to them. If they're not helping on your team then it's no good paying attention to what they're saying. You can block people who are horrible off game too. Just find their profile and there should be a way to block them somewhere...

You can't really avoid racism, it's everywhere.

The single thing you can do to prevent it is to mute the racist players and to report them, that's all.

I'm pretty sure you can make your profile private, this should stop anyone being able to dig up information on you during a game. It's kinda sad this is the only thing I can really suggest, otherwise the usual Mute/Report as above. I always try to report for unpleasant or repeated rascism, even if I'm not the target of it - hopefully these idiots might learn.

Some people are simply so shallow that they would insult someone they don't even know based on their skin colour. Don't sweat it, just relish in the fact that they are huge losers trying to give themselves some self-worth.

I ignore it, I'm asian so I receive some of that racism myself. Just mute the kid and he/she won't be a problem. Whatever you do, do not flame back. You will just be lowering yourself to that kids status.

Report the player and ignore it.
Ingame you can mute/block players, that's the way to go.

> Alternatively you can chose to not display your Country. To do so log in into steam, on your account click "profile" then click "edit profile" and choose "Do not display" under country.

Keep in mind that people will still flame. It's part of the game I guess. There are so many trolls.
