Nothing, but giving a bad rating for race would be weird and rare.

Additionally you always see the driver's photo, and optionally see the riders photo before the ride starts, so the deeply racist probably cancel before the ride anyway.

It's not necessarily race. How about a bad rating for getting a ride to an undesirable part of town? Or one where the driver can't find another rider?

At least in 2014, it sounds like Uber has no way to verify racism isn't happening: http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/jul/28/are-ubers-...
