Understandable that he would be a violent homophobe without an understanding of language barriers and accents? Please Dextrum.

Should someone teach the Chinese to say "hallo semen!"?

I think it is understandable that he was a little sensitive about being called gay, given he has probably been at sea for 6 months without female company and therefore like a "yoghurt truck about to overturn", ie hanging out for a good shag.

Would "Hello sailor!" have been acceptable?
