African-American writer Zora Hurston's novel Their Eyes Were Watching God narrates the life of a young girl named Janie, from girlhood into womanhood. Tea Cake is the third husband and first true lover of Janie. Mrs. Turner is white who adores Caucasian features of Janie and doesn't understand how she has been married Tea Cake. Because of that Tea Cake wants to avoid Mrs. Turner and doesn't want to go to her restaurant to eat.            

This excerpt reveals that Tea Cake does not want to have anything to do with Mrs. Turner. Mrs. Turner is a black woman who nonetheless is racist towards African Americans. She likes Janie because she is light-skinned and has Caucasian features. However, she does not like Tea Cake because of his African American characteristics. Tea Cake, therefore, states that he does not want anything to do with Mrs. Turner. He argues that there are many places they can eat at where they would get better treatment.
