We at TOR are usually pretty down on the Dutch and we usually do not defend them but in a hypersensitive world the Dutch brutal honesty is quite refreshing while our white-washed US Culture over analyzes every printed or said word.
 In Holland nobody has no issue commenting on a body type, they will often make broad assumptions about people quickly, a Dutchman who stands on a line at a store will jump in front of you if you even looked away for a second.. The Dutch will joke about race, religion and type without having to look over their shoulder to make sure somebody is eavesdropping, they aren't interested or worried about who they offend or why, while Americans shit their pants if somebody says the word Jew.
 In the US you can't refer to people by their race even when it's the most obvious and easiest way to describe them. How often have you heard somebody describe a guy at a party with some long winded description like "you know the guy who was talking with to Mikey, he was wearing that red shirt and that matching red baseball cap, he was about 6 feet tall, standard frame you know him right?". While they could have easily said, "remember the black guy speaking with Mikey".

 In Holland they will describe somebody as being a homosexual without feeling how it may be perceived but feel like it adds context for a story, in the US we are afraid to even say the word.
In America people will do this verbal lambada to avoid looking like you are making a statement which can ever be seen as discriminatory, cause you can't make a statement about a group of people as it sounds like you are making some horribly stereotype,while the Dutch make the story based on that.  The Dutch will explain how somebody will react without fear it might be seen as close-minded because it adds context and more importantly it gets to the point. If nothing else it's sounds honest.
What bothers me is that people will look at you with a crooked look when you ever say something which but this is what all living things do as a survival technique. You analyze a situation by comparing it to something else you have, yeah it's not 100% right but you are more right that never assuming anything and in the US this is looked down upon.
The Dutch may not be hygienic because they only offer ice-cold water to wash your hands after you going to the bathroom but when it comes to seeing it like it is they make assumptions, stereotype and speak from the heart, and if nothing else they can allow themselves to laugh
