It doesn't help that the show also reiterates the basic conceptual setup of classic American Western narratives, which are both generally racist and also founded on a specific narrative about the American Civil War which is historically incorrect and racist in specific ways.

I agree that romanticizing the wild west is kind of icky, and insensitive to the pretty horrible reality of what it actually was. However, the wild west elements used in Firefly have never bothered me that much, specifically because it wasn't a historical reality that was being depicted.

I agree with respect to stuff like the Reavers et al, but it still bothers me wrt the central framing of Alliance vs Independents, and how closely and uncritically the portrayal of those factions in the show lines up with the post-Confederate apologist narrative about the nature and aftermath of the Civil War as it ultimately got translated into the Western genre.
