Foreigners Forbidden

We have all seen a few weird bits of Chinese signage in our time, but we think this is one of the best. Bowler hats, pipes, Native American head-dress, turbans and a fair bit of questionable Chinese—what the heck is going on with this photograph? This hilarious, and yes, probably, racist photo has been floating around online since at least 2011 and popped up on Twitter earlier today.
Aside from the terrible stereotypes, the Chinese at the bottom of the sign is just a little wacky: “bu dui” and “ xiao qu,” are standard Mandarin on the Chinese mainland, however the characters are in traditional not simplified Chinese which is no longer used on the mainland. While “waiguojiren” sounds like something straight out of Google Translate. Hmm.
