would you get offended by this?

i was driving home this morning listening to the radio and they were playing their normal games, this game in particualr is call ding-ding; dong dong. poretty much a guy and a girl, one says the first, the other says the latter and whoever "ding-dongs" (no pun intended) in first gets a shot at answering the question. well the guy won today and he was playing a 2nd round to win extra prizes or something and the second question asked was who is a superhero that rides a motor cycle and wears red white and blue. the answer is obviously Captain America. well the guy got it wrong and when the dj gave him the correct answer he told the guy yea, we are doing "white superheros today." granted, C.A. is "white" but hes not just a superhero for white people, hes an AMERICAN superhero. i know you didnt hear the broadcast, but i was just wondering if anyone else would find this offensive. oh btw, both the anouncer and the contestant were locals as best i could tell as they both spoke with the native accent. lemme know, im very curious.
