I just think the joke was bad, for the lack of funniness of it.
The joke was relying on the controversy of the word nigger to be funny but I think it still flopped.
Jokes like that need to at least have some foundation in reality to work(my opinion) Maher is a rich Jew, it would have been funnier for him to say I'm too rich and Jewish to work in a field.
Other people might find it funny because it is so detached from reality and random, but not me. If he was black it might have worked as a joke too.
Didn't south park do a full nigger guy episode? That was pretty funny and I don't think anyone rational would accuse them of racism just for saying the word.

Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
