I hate to say it's definitely offensive, because I'm sure there are ways to do things like that right, but I have yet to see any.
Open mouth, insert foot, I guess. And here I thought it was just a clever way for the aliens who are manipulating this character to get him in what is essentially a booby-trapped body (even if they do have, from their point of view, good intentions for doing this). It's a cliche at this point that whenever one tries to write an original idea, it already is a played-out trope from someone's point of view.
