They even tried banning the Filipino's from migrating to the US.
If you flip something you make a profit out of it. Let's say you bought a 5-stick pack of gum for 25 cents and you sell every stick for 10 cents (giving you 50 cents) you just flipped the pack of gum. I heard there was a show where people flip houses. They buy some houses, fix them up then sell them for more than they paid. So I guess you could flip anything, but when I hear someone say they flipped something I'm usually thinking about narcotics. In the example, 'pound' is probably a pound of chronic, cocaine, etc..
To sell drugs
Flip is a degrading racial slur for people of Filipino descent. It was used way back in the day to mean 'Fucking Little Island People' The one`s who use it are just so stupid that they don`t know they`re own culture`s history. So please get it straight.
