Actually, I don't think refugees from a different racial group are going to be treated too well in a country that's both still at war and apparently experiencing a bit of stagnation.
Large areas of Paris have rundown buildings or unfinished/abandoned construction work. I'd say the economy seems to be having some trouble, so it makes enough sense.
Leila's boss isn't particularly racist though. He simply seems to be quite pragmatic and cynical about the situation rather than laughing or gloating about it.

Anyways looking forward to the second episode of Akito, hopefully we will learn more about Leila as she seemed more interesting than Akito was. I reckon most of episode two will go on the euro Britannians, Code Geass always seemed to have the Britannians be more interesting overall.

True, but I guess it's necessary. Not to mention that the Euro Britannians are also technically European.
