Why not just be upfront and ask straight questions? In the real world that is what I do. You can only get to know people's opinions by talking to them. I'm an anti-racist from way back when and make no bones about it. Even if you do not agree with their views there is no need to be offencive about it or resort to subterfuge to gauge opinions. One of my neighbours, for example, is a member of the British National Party but, despite being on opposite sides of the political divide, we still talk politics. About the only thing we agree on is that the mainstream parties are failing to address what many people feel are legitimate concerns. Ultimately it is up to you to decide how you go about procuring the information you are seeking whether in the "real" world or on Q&A.

There are ways to share personal thoughts and feelings and to ask for feedback, without threatening or appearing disrespectful.
For helpful "Guidelines for Sharing" please see http://www.houstonprogressive.org/CHRguide.html
These rules were adopted by the "Center for the Healing of Racism" to moderate forums where people are encouraged to "dialogue" to express diverse experiences or ideas, no matter how personal, in order to release the pain anger or hurt without fear of judgment or offense between any members in the group.
If you preface your personal statements as "I feel ..." or "when I see ___ it makes me feel ___ " Then ask "does anyone else feel this way or have comments that could help me understand this from a different viewpoint?" or "Why do you think this is happening?" or "How can this be corrected/prevented?"
I think that makes it clear you are asking respectfully for other people's thoughts and opinions or suggestions on something personal to you.

This may be so pal, but I also noticed from some of your answering that you insult people, you swear, you use dreadful language sometimes, you also told one women that she looked much older than she actually says she is, now if that isn't being awful I don't know what is, I think you have been upsetting a few people by the looks of ur questions and answers.

well the questions you asked about why dont Muslims speak english in public, and do people consider this a slap in the face,,
isnt in my opinion, the way to gather peoples opinions about the subject,,
you might of said " how/if anything, do you feel about people not speaking the native language of the land?" or something like that
in looking at your questions asked, im not seeing many that refer to what i think of as the far right, atleast not directly
course, lol , i dont know which farright, which country your speaking of
with the question above, was what you were wanting to know actually "do white english speaking people expect all others to speak english"

Why do you assume that peopel from the right are racist? Like nobody on the left is? How about Farrakan and Jesse Jackson. I'd say they are right up there in the class of the idiot David Duke.

You can't be wrong for speaking the truth
I do offend or please. Immigration in this country is causing a lot of problems. If the immigrant's were not here we would not have to fear for our lives. When in rome do as the romans do

If you hold a differnet perspective, people are automatically offended. Why political discussion has been reduced to this, I am not sure.
