Stereotypes:: Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
 

What stereotypes are associated with Will in this show?

In the opening scene Will is in the inner-city playing basketball and getting into trouble. He's not civilized like his rich Bel-Air family. Hiss language is ghetto. He's unable to assimilate at the country club. Dress is not proper.

What obvious ones am I missing?

in one of the shows he is the star of the bel aire prep basketball team, even though he obviously sucks based on the opening credits.

Uh...its not a stereotype. The premise of the show that an city kid who is a trouble maker, moves to the rich suburbs with his family?? If anything it portrays the family as the opposite of a stereotypical tv black family...i mean cmon look at carlton.

When his mom is shown in the opening credits, she is an old bag with big glasses and her hair in rollers. When she is in the show, she looks completely differnt.
