The first in the Xenophobjects series. Before I left Vancouver, just prior to when the COVID-19 virus started making its full effect on the city, I was noticing xenophobia being used to describe what was happening socially. It was a new word for me. Pretty soon I understood what it meant, and in Vancouver’s context, a lot of the Chinese population and Chinatown itself, was being wrongfully singled-out, blamed, and avoided (because of ignorance, fear, and lack of knowledge from others). Presented here is a xenophobic pack of traditional playing cards, who have no understanding of the Go- Fish-Alphabet-Card.
