Other than missing the mark, since it's got nothing to do with how many refugees particular countries take in. It has everything to do with the parties in power. Which are right or far right in the countries refusing to do so.

Actually, you're wrong - The EU is deciding how many refugees countries will take and how do quotas work - Before you mention the UK, keep in mind that it's a "country" with different abiding rules for the EU and so it has more power than most EU member states (like they get to keep their own currency) - So it becomes irrelevant really. Obviously, quotas should take into account population numbers, economic issues, etc. It would be irrational for a country like mine (Portugal) with some statististics showing over 30% youth unemployment and a population between 10-11 million to take in the same number of refugees as Germany.

For my point, countries with a population that is very similar will react worse to immigrants simply because they are not used to it. Would you be surprised if you went to a rural area somewhere where people have never seen someone with the same ethnic background as you, and they just stared at you for being there? OF course, diversity doesn't equal tolerance because a diverse population can be racist between groups and some groups may like or dislike another, but a population that is overwhelmingly similar and simultaneously doesn't view other ethnicities favorably will probably react worse to the presence of immigrants. 

BTW, I wonder why the UK isn't taking any refugees? Are they a special snowflake now?
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
