Probably. I'm from the US, and I know a few Dutch people, and I find their approach to direct negative feedback off-putting to the point of feeling rude, even when knowing what to expect from them. (I'm sure they find my communication style long-winded, frustrating, and a waste of their time.)

It's a cultural thing, to be sure, and what you grew up with and are used to tends to dominate how you feel about things.
