So you watched the one episode that was specifically about race relations and decided that the rest of the series would be the same?

No. Even the TV episode was draped in racial overtones. They had a big piece on how the 90s finally gave blacks a real presence on TV, with Arsenio in the late night mix, Fresh Prince, Family Matters, Martin all on the major networks. But then, Arsenio left, and the plethora of black shows shut down and how horrible it was that there weren't any shows for black folk to associate with, or to give their point of view.
