Is Expedia.com profiling?

So, the wife and I are looking into trips to Hawaii. I put in a search from Dallas, Texas to Oahu Island for flight + hotel + car on Expedia. I get a long list of hotels all over the island.

One of the things that caught my eye was this picture. It's almost like they are telling me that they have Asian/Pacific Islanders at the 800-number to help me because that's the location to where I'm interested.

I wondered what image it would show if I selected Buenos Aires, Spain, France, or Russia. I don't know their reasoning behind it but it didn't make me feel like calling her because she appealed to the demographic of the area to which I was wanting to travel.
