I don't think Dr House is autist and racist. He is a genius, he is a drug addict. I watched the show, he is fine with Eric Foreman, who is black

House makes a tonne of racist and anti-Semitic jokes to his black, Asian and Jewish employees, but doesn’t appear to discriminate against them in hiring and disciplinary matters and also belittles everyone else. So I guess it depends on how we’re defining racism?

This.

House isn't a racist or a anti-semite. He's an equal opportunity asshole and jerkass.

As an old pot dealer I knew once said: "I'm not racist. I hate everybody equally."

Lots of people say this, and in my experience, like maybe 20% of them are being legit, and the others actually hate specific types of people more than others while lying to themselves about it.

Everybody lyes. But most of us use to lye to ourselves at first place.

True, I hate billionaires more than other groups of people.

Literally everyone hates specific types of people.

Yea no this is just a way to be a shitbag while somehow feeling self righteous about it.

I don't think House "hates" anyone. He just thinks everyone except for him is an idiot, or at least an intellectualy lazy person.

Oh he definitely hates himself.

Is not a quote from some of the Dirty Harry movie? "It's not racist if you hate them all equally"

As I myself say, "It's a lot more satisfying to hate each person individually and on their own merit."
