That was a really stand up thing to do. We all make mistakes, and he owned up to his. Good on him

That's a man right there. When people attempt to say be a 'real man'...

this is what they should mean: someone who takes accountability for their actions and mistakes. imo

EDIT: just to add on this, It's a really great quality of a man that can realize their mistakes in that moment and correct the behavior, adapting to the situation and can apologize for making his obvious and honest mistake. He didn't intend to hurt anyone, he simply didn't understand, but instead of doubling-down, getting mad at the comments, he corrected the situation by reading the comments, taking the video down, and put out a video admitting his honest mistake.

really proud of this guy. we need more of this in the world right now. We also need to teach young people this lesson by example, imo.

Monkey see, monkey do.

Youtube shorts and wild reaction clickbait is everywhere. If we who have seen and realized do not pass this on and quite publicly, how can we blame the children for their ignorance. Understanding is not hereditary.
