They are reputed to be cheap.
They are also reported to be good farmers, and generally very productive people.
How about we call them thrifty and efficient?

I think at some point the stereotypes must have been thriftiness (why else would "Going Dutch" mean split the cost instead of one person or the other paying) and sobriety and rectitude, hence the term "Dutch Uncle": where one thought is that the term, often expressed as "talk to one like a Dutch uncle", originated in the early 1800s as an allusion to the sternness and sobriety attributed to the Dutch.

Lets "go Dutch" means I don't expect you to pay for me, Say some one invites you out but you don't want them to pay for your meal you say lets go Dutch, then there isn't the feeling you owe them something in return.
