It is a real dialect, it's how the natives speak and there's no such thing as bad English b/c it's spoken different just like in England the commoners spoke it different than the elites.

You should put this in Languages.
But whatever, I know linguistics, so I'll answer it here. Pidgins are actual languages--they occur when invaders speak one language and other people (say, native people or slaves) speak something else entirely. The pidgin language is a simplified version of the prestige language (that is, the language spoken by those in power) that is also influenced by the speakers of the other language. Like, Haitian pidgin was spoken by the first slaves who were forced to speak with French speakers.
In the second generation of the pidgin language, it becomes a creole (hence, Haitian Creole.) I doubt there's a pidgin Hawaiian language--it's probably a creole by now. Hawaii got invaded and taken over by English speakers a long time ago, and I'm sure a creole has developed by now. It's not "bad English"--it's a new language.
And stop being so prejudiced while you're at it.

it's bad english because there is no root language that can relate back to it. i'm sure people will say the opposite, but thats cause they are stupid. if i'm wrong, then what about e-bonics? is that a real language?
