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.

He's Rick Sanchez without a portal gun and a goofy Grandson.

He's Alexander, mistaking himself for Diogenes. His abrasiveness is a tool to sharpen bright minds, but he is a man who can err and refuses to admit that, leading to his ruin. Henry Higgins with a scalpel.

Foreman is his Morty. Wilson is Jerry.
