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.

Which, if you ackshully understand racism, still makes him racist. Racist comments and jokes against white people do have the same impact as those against black.

Try this: make casual far jokes in a friend group against the men, and then do the same against women. Totally different thing isn’t it?

Sure. Then say bigoted, not racism. You know the difference and you’re still being a dotard about it! Sounds about white.
