Black and Tan is an independent buddy-cop action film, made by Gandhi and George Washington Carver. The movie makes a statement about racial pride, eradicating the stereotype that Africans and Indians hate each other, by having an African and Indian pair of cops working together to stop an evil mad-scientist peanut.

Production[]
When Gandhi asks Carver to join him on the film, Carver was at first reluctant, but reconsidered after telling him that Peany get a part in the movie. During the filming of a speedboat shoot-out, Carver's stoic mannerisms clashed with Gandhi's vision of having him be more comical which nearly led to Carver walking out, but after he saves Gandhi from a falling water tower, which prompts Gandhi to offer rewriting his character if he stays, but Carver says he will rewrite the character as he sees fit, which shocked Gandhi, but he nevertheless accepted.
When it was shown at the Clone High Film Festival, it was met with a positive reception from the students.

- As Gandhi put it, this film was meant to eradicate the stereotype that Africans and Indians couldn't get along. This is a reference to how the Original Mahatma Gandhi was racist against Black Africans, seeing them as inferior to Indians and trying to establish a hierarchy, where he'd segregate them from Indians. Apparently, Gandhi made this film as an attempt to undo his clonefather's wrongdoings.
