This is going to be my punch line if I ever become a comedian.

White people gamble for fun

Asian people, it is an investment.

Changing names doesn't have anything to do with one's wealth. Even if the guy was poor he could still legally change his name.

So I don' really get the logic behind this thread.

If I had an emracing name and was fine with it, I'd keep it regardless of my wealth.

You need more work on your comedy career, cause that wasn't funny.

driving my bugatti veyron 16.4, I blast past you in your wimpy porche 911 twin-turbo, you give the finger and say.."fuck -you dipshit!!"

I slam on the brakes and stop immediately with all 4 16inch calipers grabbing, my massive 20 inch tires shred the pavement,car stops, I flip you the bird and reply, "it's Mr. Dikshit to you, Anurag Dikshit", Veyron accelerates, spraying gravel and pavement bits chipping your paint and cracking your windshield in the process....

hehehehehehe
