"African and White" is the debut single by English new wave band China Crisis. It was released in 1981 on Inevitable Records. A remixed version of the song was reissued as a single by Virgin Records in 1982 and became the band's first appearance on the UK Singles Chart, peaking at number 45 in August 1982.[1] The song is included on the band's debut studio album Difficult Shapes & Passive Rhythms, Some People Think It's Fun to Entertain (1982) and on several compilation albums.

Reception

Spin wrote, "China Crisis showed it could create music that flowed with a strong rhythmic base, most strongly demonstrated on the track "African and White". While China Crisis appeared to be singing about stopping racism, they were perhaps more concerned with stopping musical racism or musical compartmentalization."[2]
