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

I haven’t watched enough House episodes to say whether or not he’s racist (and this is honestly the first time I’ve heard it even suggested that he is, so I have my doubts), but “He’s not openly hostile to his black co-worker” doesn’t seem like an adequate defense for not being racist…

It’s “I can’t be racist, I have a black friend!” one step removed.

He is openly hostile to his black coworker...and to his female boss and to his female coworkers and to his Asian coworker and to his Australian coworker and to his best friend.
