How to say something like "I'm sorry for misunderstanding you" in Japanese?
I want to know how I can apologize for a cultural/general misunderstanding to someone next time I see them.
For ex. I called out someone for being discriminatory for asking me if I know how to use chopsticks at a local convenient store I frequent.
There is a good chance that the Japanese woman might be xenophobic/racist, but because I need to go there often for things and see her often, I don't want things to always be awkward each time I go there.
What is the best way to say "I'm sorry for the misunderstanding" or "I'm sorry for misunderstanding you" in Japanese?
Of course, I will specify that I am talking about the last time we met by using この前.
