It kind of looks racist because in much of the US, it is (or at least was for a long time) a fairly offensive stereotype that all Chinese people work in Chinese restaurants and all Chinese restaurants are run by recent Chinese immigrants, and from that perspective, the secret looks like it's based on that stereotype. (I have no context for the show etc., though, so I have no idea if that even applies to the secret.)

all Chinese restaurants are run by recent Chinese immigrants

If you define recent as "within the person's lifetime" and Chinese restaurants as "not nationwide franchises", then it's less of a stereotype than a generalization.

...I take it there hasn't been a "Elvish* food isn't really Elvish* food and shouldn't be called such because the people running those restaurants aren't Elvish*" complaint over there yet?

The food served in American Chinese restaurants that are run by Chinese people isn't even technically Chinese. It's some weird Americanized version of what Chinese food might be like if it were made in a way that was terrible for you.
