One of my coworkers keep addressing me as, "Dan" or is it "D.A.N.", even though I've told him my name was Tony. What gives?

Shorthand for a dumb ass nigger. Frequently used by white people as a means to avoid saying the dreaded "n word" and risk being banished from society for rightfully calling out a black person for committing an incredibly stupid criminal act.
Brent: Did you hear about D.A.N. who robbed the Walgreens of $20 and 6 Swisher Sweets and was arrested on the subway?
Steve: No, but that's something D.A.N. would do.
