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)
And i don't see why there shouldn't be impulsive disagreement, considering how terrible the word is.
I was making a statement of fact, which is valid no matter how many downvotes I get: this guy just named a domain "nigg.er". That's not a "joke". It doesn't meet any definition of what a joke is. It's using a word to be gratuitously offensive. It doesn't matter what his motivation was; it doesn't rise to the level of a joke. I'm not saying that because I find the word offensive, I'm saying it because simply naming something "nigger" is factually not a joke. I'm not sure what you call it, but I am sure that you don't call it a joke. :)
