One of the plot points in The Royal Tenenbaums was Gene Hackman's character being vaguely racist (his ex-wife was marrying a black guy) but I don't recall anything to suggest that Wes Anderson is vaguely racist. But yeah his movies get tedious for other reasons (you mentioned how self-absorbed the characters are.)

I passed him in Columbus Circle when I live in NYC. He must have had a bad day at the office because he was scowling something fierce.

Don't the white dudes in the Darjeeling Limited, or at least one of them, 'find themselves' in the arms of a dusky magic brown-person lady? I admit that my memories of a film I saw partly a few years ago may be muddied, but I thought it was a neo-colonialist fantasy then and I have no particular reason to re-watch it because Wes Anderson films are terrible. And I don't like terrible things! I will keep calling Wes Anderson vaguely racist because I have no interest in 'intellectual honesty' and because it mildly annoys people who like Wes Anderson films, who shouldn't like Wes Anderson films because Wes Anderson films are terrible.
Also, his work embodies fascist aesthetics. When you combine that with the fact that he is vaguely racist, he is basically Hitler. The Hitler of making films that are terrible.
