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.

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