No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

House would not make a point like that unless there was some diagnostic significance.
House would do something like notice from the weird colour schemes on their clothing how their colour perception is affected which is an indication towards a rare disease or something.
This doctor is just prejudiced.
House is essentially quite literally a medical Sherlock Holmes, and while he formally specialised in infectious disease, he is clearly shown to be an expert in most medical fields, just like Holmes is an expert in all fields related to anything remotely related to the plot.

Also, a problem in colour vision would not be psychiatry, it would be ophthalmology first, but likely overall neurology (because if it's just a colour vision issue and not an indication of something larger, it's not a House episode).
