at 50 seconds in. Why would we see red at the top on a rainbow, when in the diagram it shows the red at the bottom when coming out the raindrop. Shouldn't the white light coming directly into the droplet be red on bottom resulting in the end experience the red being on top like in a real rainbow?

So when millions of water drops make rainbows then the end result is a perfect arch in the sky with all colors separated in adjacent bands with always red band on top and blue band on the bottom? Try harder.
