No, no -- you read it wrong. It was supposed to mean, "Dude, I wouldn't step foot in an Asians house for all the tea in China. I don't want to get fleas.". Did you know that my middle name is, "Closer"? It is.
My wife is Asian. Does that mean that you have decided to not accept our invitation for dinner? We're having curry (the Japanese kind) with gyoza's (pot stickers) and katsudon.
