Ashley isn't being hypocritical.
She isn't a xenophobe. The allegation by some on BSN that she is racist stems from one line of dialogue. "I can't tell the aliens from the animals" on the surface sounds like a xenophobic statement, but that line is actually bugged. It was meant to be said only in reference to the Keepers, who are little more than animals.
Even if that wasn't the case, you'd still have to judge the character based on all of her actions and dialogue, and not just cherry-picking a single statement. If you bring Ashley along with you to meet the Terra Firma party in ME1 she is very hostile towards them, and makes it clear that she thinks their racist views on aliens make them an embarrasment to humanity. She also has an elevator conversation with Tali where she'll say that she hopes that Tali's contributions against Saren will be recognized, and that it will help to do away with prejudices many people have against Quarians.
In short, Ashley isn't a racist and her reaction to Shepard working with Cerberus was neither out of character with her ME1 persona, or hypocritical.
My biggest problem with their confrontation on Horizon is not how Ashley acted, but that Shepard acts like a dufus with a complete inability to explain
why he is with Cerberus. Rather than explaining why he's working with Cerberus (especially for Shepards that hate Cerberus as much as Ashley does), he tries to sell it by saying it will be fun and just like old times if Ashley joins him. Really, Shepard?!
