It doesn't qualify because you said so, really?

This is something else than a joke, because?

Speculation and assertion is not an argument.

If a statement is a joke is not defined whether someone finds it is funny or not, but by its intention. We don't all laught at the same jokes do we? In this case, we don't know the intention behind it, or at least our two comments didn't reveal it.

(It is so sad to see preconditioned impulsive disagreement, just because certain words are discussed from a neutral perspective)

He doesn't seem to be serious, but I don't think one could really call the domain a "joke". It's using a word who's sole connotation is as a racial slur.

And i don't see why there shouldn't be impulsive disagreement, considering how terrible the word is.

Words were not "discussed", here, in any way, let alone a supposedly "neutral perspective". Pay attention to detail. It counts.
"nigger" is never neutral (except when it comes from the mouth of black rappers but that is the exception to the rule).
