I wouldn't classify you as an asker. The type of askers that I collide with do so to conserve their energy at the expense of everyone else. Your kind of asking is mostly curiosity.
In the end it's hard to find a single word for the whole culture of communication, so I wouldn't over index on the name. It's a good idea to first think "I wonder if he said that because of his background and culture" instead of "what an asshole". Sometimes it's the former sometimes it's the latter.
