He’s smiling for most of it, answers the question in several lays of sophistication, connects it to other physical phenomenon and explains why it’s difficult to answer directly.
I went back and watched it since it’s been quite a while and I didn’t recall hostility and I still don’t see it.

Yeah no, “you think they’re hostile because of an accent”? Please. The interviewer themselves says something to the effect of “I must say I think it’s a perfectly reasonable question to ask” which then gets him to ease up about it and explain himself. Either way, not hallmarks of a great educator, at least in that interview specifically. I think someone Neil deGrasse Tyson would have handled the question in a better manner. Either way, not worth having an internet debate over; especially not when you’re going to get downvoted for disagreeing.

I didn’t say that’s what you think, I said it’s a mistake you could be making. He had a particularly strong accent and it was something that coworkers commented on.
I’m not trying to prove you wrong, I was offering an explanation for a different interpretation. If two people watch the same interview and one sees aggression and the other sees a perfectly normal interaction there’s probably a reason one of them sees it differently.
