Larry David's character is a neurotic, self-centred idiot who can't take criticism or blame. He wants to be the most important person in the room but has none of the skills or charisma to do so. He lashes out to everyone the moment he realises he's at fault.
Much like Sasha Baron Coen, The fact that he plays it all as a self depreciating joke is secondary.
Either you don't know what Cohen's characters were or you're so indoctrinated with racism that you can't tell the difference between a real flaw in a character and stereotypical racist propaganda.
