Ultimate Cap has always seemed like that to me. He's more like Captain 'Murica than Captain America. It was a slippery slope that started slowly since at least the Ultimates 1 then it started to show until it blossomed in the murder-rape-suicide of the Ultimate universe that was Ultimates 3 and Ultimatum.

I guess we just don't see eye to eye on this one because the only time he ever made any kind of questionable remark beforehand was when he implied France is known for giving up but that's not being bigoted, that was just him reciting what was recent history for him.
No bigoted remarks against mutants, Ruskies, Africans, Middle Easterns or anything else up until that point despite having key plots involving them. Heck, he dated the Wasp, an Asian girl when he comes from a time of deep hatred for Asians.
At worst, he displayed some overzealous American patriotism with a few "Murica betta" lines. Other than that, he is just classic angry guy with the power to back it up.

Other than that, he is just classic angry guy with the power to back it up. I guess he wasn't usually that much different from mainstream Cap. He just often seemed more... I don't know... intense in his views of other people. I don't think mainstream Cap would ever had yelled out that France line or broken Sabretooth's face for using bad language when a woman was present. It also bugs me when they indicated that he's sort of a Bible-thumper too, but without any real Christian life to back it up. After he took down Ult Nuke he came into his cell and started reading the Bible to him, and Thor stated that Cap goes to church every Sunday. And yet in Ultimates 1 he had no problem with dating married/estranged woman. As a Christian, that just rubs me the wrong way.
