No, that is without any doubt not what it is due to.
Paula Deen was fired from the Food Network
Phil Robertson was fired from Duck Dynasty, but fan revolt got him reinstated.
Anthony Cumia was fired from Opie and Andy, a Sirius radio show.
Don Yelton was fired for racist remarks he made on the Daily show.
All four of these were on cable TV shows, including the Daily Show.
Compare what Jimmy the Greek said which got him fired, essentially identical to what Trevor Noah said.
The only common factor for those who were fired and those who aren't is that if someone is white and says something racist they are fired, if they are black they aren't. You can even find articles justifying this where the claim is made that Blacks can be biased but not racist.
The Facts are this:
1. Trevor Noah has made a blatantly racist remark during his show. It offended those in France to the extent that the French leader even wrote a letter to the Daily show complaining about the racist tenor of the joke.
2. Noah's comment is virtually identical to the remark made by Jimmy the Greek which got him fired.
3. There are numerous examples of people getting fired from Cable TV for making racists remarks.
4. No sponsor has even hinted that they are pulling their support for the Daily Show.
5. No one is even suggesting that Trevor Noah be fired.
Why?

It was a French ambassador to the US not "the French Leader" who wrote the letter to Trevor Noah.
Here is Roseanne Barr defending herself to give you a little taste of why she was fired.

Here's Trevor Noah defending himself:

Do you discern a difference? Do see why someone might not want to work with Ms. Barr? Even if you don't agree with Noah, at least he keeps his sh*t together.
Any similarity between what Noah said and what Jimmy the Greek said exists solely in your mind.
