I find the Dutch can be understanding, and will show vulnerability to you. But they are more pragmatic than many cultures (in my observation), but I'd say that's a good thing.

I'm not talking about not showing emotion, I'm talking about being insensitive to suffering.

I think the Anglo-Saxon propensity for this is the reason why most people who do mass shootings at schools or workplaces are either Anglos (Columbine shooters), Anglicized (Kimveer Gill, the East Indian-Canadian who shot up Dawson College in Montreal), or Anglophiles (Anders Behring Breivik).
Then how would you explain John Allen Muhammad (African-American) & Lee Boyd Malvo (Jamaican) who killed 10 during a 2002 spree, Seung-Hui Cho (Korean) who killed 32 at Virginia Tech in 2007, or Nidal Malik Hasan (Palestinian-American) who killed 14 at Fort Hood in 2009? There are also plenty of non-Anglo mass shooters outside of the U.S. as well:
