"What's the deal with English muffins and why do the English like them so much?"

The statement is making the assumption that those of British descent "like them so much"... However, it turns out your assumption was wrong per comments on this thread (most people think theyre just okay in general, even the British). So people are agreeing with your personal opinion of "English Muffins" but not your approach.

A more open ended, respectful question could have been something as simple as"Why do some people like English Muffins?" Something introspective for communication if you choose to reflect.
