Diploid vs. Haploid Cells

In this video Paul Andersen explains the difference between diploid and haploid cells. He starts with a brief description of the central dogma and how genes code for proteins. He then uses the phenotype of red hair to explain that humans are diploid creatures. He discriminates between diploid somatic cells and haploid sex cells. He finishes with a brief description of different life cycles dominated by haploid and diploid individuals.

It's not hard to remember the difference between haploid and diploid. Remember "di" means "two," therefore 'di'ploid cells have two sets of chromosomes.

I don't understand why cells are considered haploid after anaphase I in meiosis. It appears as though they are still diploid.
