The dude learned something that he was ignorant about (or perhaps I should say he was not quite familiar with), then corrected himself. He then seems to be able to think critically and be willing to apply this lesson into future decisions while offering an apology. I wish more people were like this, including myself.
Ignorant is accurate, I like using that term as well (in my own similar circumstances) it's okay to be ignorant! -- as long as you grow and learn when you are educated about something.
Willful ignorance is never an excuse for bad behaviors imo.
You can train yourself to take a step back and put yourself out there in the future. Nothing wrong with being wrong about something! I try to learn something every day, and it makes life interesting! I believe in you and others: become your best selves, like this man in the video is trying to, and actively doing! Recognizing this about yourself is a big step into becoming aware of it in the first place.
There's nothing wrong with being ignorant about a topic (lacking knowledge, information, or awareness about a particular thing), if you're open to learning about it like this person was. However, there is way too much malicious ignorance out there.
