In this episode of Reel Talk with Tay Nicole: TV Shows Edition, we revisit The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air Season 1, Episode 6 — “Mistaken Identity.” I break down the powerful and uncomfortable moments when Will and Carlton face racial profiling firsthand.

I also share my honest reaction and confusion about how Carlton couldn’t understand why Will was so angry — a real reflection of privilege, perception, and lived experience.

Let’s talk about what this episode taught us about awareness, identity, and the different realities Black people face even when they share the same skin tone.

🎥 Drop your thoughts in the comments — do you think Carlton truly learned from that moment?
