Um, yeah, but the super power that allowed him to destroy a trailer and fake it to make it appear as though it was a tornado? Or the fact that they've already referred to some vampires as having the ability of tranmography? (ability to change forms).. I don't know, those kind of things, along with his ability to move so fast he startles Sookie by seemingly appearing out of nowhere.. those would tend to make you "non-human". Or, I should say, more then human.
More then then that, I get the point above that any comparison or tie to show Vampires are treated as racist or comparable to homophobia is terrible. African Americans & Gay people never had super powers, and their sex acts, as we saw in the video taped sex in Episode 1, don't turn any human into some demonic "thing" that virtually rapes and beats those they are with.
Is having no heartbeat the same as a disease.. maybe, even though I find that kind of a stretch. But the other factors we've already seen pretty well establish them as non-human.

I hear the whole ripping the gun away from a police officer and telling him you intend to keep it worked real well for opressed minorities over the years
