Question: Why did Philip think Will deliberately embarrassed him during the dinner party? Will spent his whole life in Philly and even though he knew how to act and behave around people from his own neighborhood, it was his first time in Bel-Air and had no knowledge of how others lived or how they interacted with each other.
Answer: I don't disagree with the other comment, but I want to add that Phillip views Will as a rebellious and disrespectful teenager. At this point, he thinks that Will doesn't care about his wish to have a pleasant dinner party.
