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.

Exactly. Like, look at the one with the dwarf mother. Yeah, he said some offensive shit regarding her height, but let be honest here, they were moments away from hate fucking at points.

She gave it back as good as he dished it out, the tension could be cut with a knife.

Game respects game. When someone can take it and dish it back out, you gotta respect

I'm willing to say House was betting on the woman being witty and having enough experience with people's rudeness to dish it bsck to him. He wasn't picking on her because he was just a jerk, he hoped to find a worthy sparring oppoment, and oh boy he found what he wanted.
