I completely agree with the OP; there's no reason to suggest there is anything racist about the label Chinese Restaurant Syndrome. It appears a few people have been hyper-sensitized to a bad definition of racism.

You mean other than the implication that it is exclusive to restaurants owned by the Chinese?

That's quite naive -- and dare I say a little racist -- to assume that all chinese restaurants are owned by Chinese people, or that Chinese people only run chinese restaurants.
