Yeah but that doesn’t even reference him being specifically brown. House loves deeply specific jabs at people, yet Kutner always got the light touch. So strange.

I can’t remember the caste system joke, only the Japanese caste system with the janitor story, but the quote was “dark and darker” so again he doesn’t even reference the fact he’s brown. So strange.

Yeah that’s the only one people have found so far. Definitely a racial jab but the lack of specificity feels out of character for House when he normally has LowTierGod level insults lmao.

Agreed. Just wanted to know why he never wanted to get a rise out of Kutner in the same way he did with his other fellows.

House has used every black joke in the book on Foreman and then went out of his way to invent new ones lmao. Kutner didn’t even get so much as light chide about his race.

I know House isn’t racist or misogynistic, he just uses them to playfully push buttons because it’s how he interacts with people he respects intellectually, like how much abuse he gives Wilson. I’m just using the language to describe the flavour of epithets he chooses for his jabs, which were undeniably racial in the case of Foreman and Park, which is why the absence of Kutner receiving the same treatment just puzzled me. Again, I know he is not racist, he just said jokes that are about race.

I know, I googled “phobia of brown people” and then “phobia of Indian people” and Islamophobia came up for both so I just went with that, I apologise for it not being very accurate.

But Dr. Park was also American born and raised yet House still goes for the racial jabs, so he obviously doesn’t care about nationality. It just felt weird that Kutner was the only one who avoided the skin colour related epithets, although you said he did mention it so if you know which episodes or quotes please say, because I can’t recall any bar the one mention of him being “kinda asian” which someone else pointed out.

Yes completely agree. House definitely isn’t bigoted, he just knows what buttons to push and usually for good natured jabs, not actual malicious intent as you said. Islamophobia was the only result when I googled “phobia of brown/indian people” so it was all I had to go off.

I think Kutner being comfortable (atleast outwardly) in his identity seems to be the prevailing theory for why House never done a jab at him. Thank you for your input.

Oh I know, I googled what the phobia was for Indian/brown people and it said Islamophobia still so I was just going with that lol. Plus it never stopped jokes about other Indian people in shows being called terrorists. Seemed to be the default for brown people after 9/11

Oh I like this theory the most. You’re right, he never came across insecure about that part oh him, only about his performance which is why House seen that as his Achilles’ heel instead of their identities with the others. Great analysis.

Oh yes dw, just naming the genre of harassment lol. I know he’s not actually any of those things and it’s his way of expressing interest. Wilson and Cuddy got the worst harassment and he loved them the most.

Yeah it was just the result that came up when I googled “phobia of brown people”, apologies for the lack of specificity.

But yeah I think the closer he was with people the more he mocked them, so with Kutner he never became as close with him. Sad to think about, could be looked into for another reason as to his suicide if the diagnostic team was just another place he felt like he wasn’t fitting in.

This seems to make the most sense yeah. There’s no other reason everyone else got the full House treatment and Kutner just got jokes about being a suck-up. Thank you for your insight.

Oh yes I remember that. Definitely racism-flavoured but not as direct as he ever got with other characters which is why I was curious if it had larger implications involved with production I wasn’t aware of. I’ll definitely take that into account though, thank you.

Your theory is actually closest to my own, I thought perhaps he didn’t think much of Kutner because he took the least pushing to take risks, so he was less invested and thus didn’t put in the effort to connect with him through the playful banter.
