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.
A word on its own is not racist, what is racist is intent.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
