And I have to address your concrete objections:

  • it's not an odd texture! These are culturally relative. Know what's an odd texture? Bread. It's a damp sponge, isn't that odd? But of course if you grew up eating bread it's not odd at all, I love a good sourdough
  • it's not hard to prepare correctly! Maybe from your cultural background it is. If you grew up cooking tofu, you'd (a) know how to prepare it (b) have different desired tastes for how to cook it. A good number of people will put "raw" tofu in sushi. Tastes fine but you wouldn't like it. I will happily eat a seared thin-sliced slab with some bbq sauce while camping, how is that any tougher to prepare than a steak or pork chop?

It's fine to have a personal preference. If you try and extend these globally and say that your culture is right about how tofu tastes and those people are either wrong or lying, yeah that's racist. That's why she deleted
