Stay back outsiders!

ok, so the title was kinda mean, but this rant needs a title like this!
Today this dude on the radio was saying how Chinglish is important to study and we should try to preserve it.
let's refresh everyone's memory on what most chinglish looks like.



do you really want to keep this around? really preserve it? No.
Chinglish has always been something for overseas chinese youth have. it's a lanuage that we, the oversea chinese youth, use when we have a lack of Chinese, trying to communicate, and can only translate from english into really weird chinese sentences.
the dude was talking about how they should keep things like..
"please don't kill the little beings under your feet"

or something like that.. it's suppose to mean "please keep off the grass"
... seriously? he's all like.. oh, we should keep the chinese to english cause it shows an insight into the chinese culture and how they're so much more connected to nature.

how stereotypical is that?
i would also like to add that it's a 100% german dude saying this.
