My mother has a saying, part of which is "He who does not know, and does not know that he does not know, is a fool. Avoid him."
Personally, an ignorant person just slinging comments around without the knowledge of what they mean or how others interpret them, is a fool. By no means should ignorance be used as an excuse, however.
But as soon as someone says/does something they know can be considered offensive, it becomes intentional and my opinion of them is immediately lowered.
