dear ronald, grimace, the fry guys, etc.
Salads need not be "asian." I am quite certain it's acceptable to call inanimate eastern objects "oriental." In fact, I've gone so far as to consult a few rugs and have found that none are offended by the moniker. Further, if you were really brave, you could just call the darned thing "chinese." Why beat around the bush with the fortune cookie-themed advertising? I promise, the countless other restaurants that carry chinese chicken salads have yet to be burned down by any kind of angry mob.
In short, please rename your asian salad. It sounds vaguely cannibalistic, and that makes me uncomfortable.

I can't wait for their "All-New Caucasian Dollar Value Menu", featuring everything they've ever sold, minus the "Asian" salad.
