Why Does Riot Promote Racism, Anti-Semitism, Homophobia, and General Hate Speech?

I have come across 6 people in the last four days alone with racist/homophobic slurs in their names and clan names/tags. All but one of them are between level 150 and 200, so they're playing quite a bit.

Current count: 3 racial slurs, 2 anti-Semitic slurs, and 2 homophobic slurs (one person managed to fit both racial and homophobic slurs in one clan name/tag).

Why does Riot Games promote this behavior? Is it company policy, or just the employees espouse these ideals themselves, and wish them to remain, even against ToS?

I don't think you know what the word "promote" means.

There's laws against rape, rape still happens, ergo police promote rape.
