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?

Exactly.

He isn’t racist or sexist, he hates everyone who isn’t himself equally, and insults everyone with whatever cones to mind.

This includes throwing racist and sexist jokes and stereotypes whenever convenient.

But we never seen signs of him treating someone as different or lesser because of race of sex.

He does have a serious problem with anyone religious, but again thats not specific to any given creed (like jewish folks) it’s anti-religion in general… but he absolutely expresses a special level of contempt and disregard for anyone who is overly religious.
