I don't like to generalize, but I think there are more than a few blunt Europeans out there. I can say that my husband's family members (Czech) are particularly blunt. They fight a lot because of it.
I know of many cultures (i.e. some Asian) that are also quite blunt. It is still uncomfortable to be at the receiving end, but understanding the tendencies helps. Most often it is not meant to be mean, though I think my husband's family often mean to be jerks.

Yes I know from experience numerous cultures are just blunt.
Is there a way to maybe tame his family at least a lil bit ?? I’d hate to move and just have to deal with that all the time but I’d imagine over time you could learn to let it roll off and give it no mental energy.
Sucks tho
Thanks for asking
I’m still super congested, miserable actually. But I have not gotten that true sign of infection with my productive cough so I am holding off antibiotics, I “ might “ need to do steroids for the asthma, it’s a pretty bad flare on top of my lungs being lousy anyway. But steroids brings its own set of very undesirable side effects.
It’s a waiting game
