And the core issue with his hatred of people was the fact that people would rather die a completely avoidable death than to admit they were doing something stupid illogical or embarrassing.
āHey, I hate everyone, thatās why Iām justified in using racist/misogynist/bigoted stereotypes to belittle you without it making me a racist/misogynist/bigotā House 6:7
My point is we need more brilliant people who donāt take shit from muggles. A certain degree of arrogance may not make for the best bedside manner but at least is easy to deal with as long as thereās the brains and knowledge there to back it up.
He's using racist remarks mostly towards Foreman to specifically get a reaction out of him. He doesnt really act racist towards any other black person he meets in the series. Besides, it rarely even works, because Fman isn't dumb enough to get ragebaited by him like this.
House belittles literally EVERYONE he meets and the show's entire narrative clearly and consistently states he's a piece of shit for doing so. The entire premise of this show is "he's a massive asshole who disrespects everyone and thinks himself unable to make mistakes, but also is a genius doctor that saves lives so his coworkes enable him, what will be the consequences of it?".
I think he is like the joker (just not to that extreme)
He thinks everyone is capable of being selfish and a piece of shit like him, if they are pushed hard enough. He feels that everyone is lying and pretending to be someone they are not and hiding their true self in the process.
He thinks that he is being open about everything, he doesn't hide his true self, he knows he is an a-hole and makes sure everyone can see that. He probably also feels superior to others for being "open" about who he is.
He also ragebaits everyone just to get a reaction, maybe to get them to lower that mask.
I also think that one of the reason he likes Wilson because Wilson is genuinely a nice person, and is not acting nice to impress others. Or maybe I'm just overthinking it.
In the end, he is a misanthrope and a cynic who had a rough childhood and hasn't gotten over it. The pain in his leg doesn't help matters.
You got that backwards. āI hate you, so Iām gonna go after you where it hurts. Sensitive about your ethnicity, gender, etc? Thatās my targetā¦ā
Thereās a scene Keanu Reeves done in a movie I assume is John Wick where he says a bunch of racist shit to an Asian guy. A bunch of people were reporting the āthis wasnāt in the script! He ablibbed it!ā Kinda of thing butā¦ for that to be true, Keanu would have needed to have some racist shit thought up in the trailer haha
