I think comparing to hearing people, deaf people are a bit less empathic with certain situations.
But that is based on my experiences, due to traits that deaf people carry, such as bluntness, share news/rumors so easily, aggressive rather than passive, and so on.
It's almost like they don't really think before they act.
That's why I sometimes feel like I am strange in deaf community because I think before I act and I think of other person's feeling before I do something so rashly. I was even criticized by deaf people due to my passive (laid back I guess) nature.
I am not saying it's a bad thing, but you got to be prepared so you don't hurt yourself.
One of good traits I do see in deaf people are that they are so frakin' passion and united when stirred to anger or determined about something. If you know how, use it to your own advantage.
