The Holyoke Range, a relatively small mountain range in western Massachusetts, USA, which separates the Pioneer Valley from the Springfield metropolitan area.
This name reflects the juxtaposition of the areas to the north and south of the range. The relative wealth, educational level, smugness and quality of life of Northampton and Amherst, Massachusetts to the north - and the urban decay, teen pregnancy, street violence, drug use, and poverty of Holyoke, Chicopee, and Springfield Massachusetts, a mere ten miles to the south.
A Tofu Curtain may exist in other areas, such as Princeton, New Jersey and New Haven, Connecticut (home to Princeton and Yale Universities, respectively). However, this is the most dramatic example of a physical barrier which approximates the socioeconomic divide.
Northampton is a happy liberal utopia. If you want a teen hooker and an 8 ball, you should cross the Tofu Curtain and go to Holyoke.

The ginormous ammount of money that you have to pay for an AE86/ Toyota Corolla Levin / Toyota Sprinter Trueno because of the car's Legend status. Since it's introduction in the popular anime Initial D, the car has skyrocketed in value as collector's, car enthusiasts and weebs want a piece of that Deja Vu feeling.
Context on the anime:
Initial D depicts a guy delivering Tofu through the mountain roads of Japan, while and drifting on the corners. He then starts racing other drivers, usually with better cars than him. This anime is one of the things that propelled drifting in Japan to what it is today.
Bryan: Bro, Mike just bought a new AE86! Dope
John: What? How much did he pay?
Bryan: Like 30k
John: Fucking Tofu Tax
A person that thinks that putting on African clothes, adoptng a lunchbox superhero sounding African name, eating vegan food, and spelling Africa with a "k" instead of a "c" will turn them into Cleopatra or Shaka Zulu.
I'm sorry, but I've been to Africa. Africa is not a monolith. You can save your tofu-dashikiist rhetoric for someone who doesn't take the time to study REAL African history.

Someone who always changes their personality to match the crowd they are hanging out with -- such as tofu taking on the flavors of the food around it.
Person 1: Jeez, does she have her own personality? She seems to have like 15 depending on the time of day..
Person 2: No man, she's social tofu, just mimicking whoever she's around at the moment.

A theory which states that certain people absorb the coolness or doucheness of the people around them much like the Asian bean-curd, tofu, absorbs the flavors of the foods surrounding it.
John: That Hans guy can be cool at times, but then he hangs out with those tool bags and acts like an ass.
Jacob: Bro, this is a perfect case of Tofu Theory.
