Call it Racist.

May as well, every other fucking thing apparently now is!

Listen, black remotes matter.

The world is a strange place right now me thinks!

It's a Black Belfast Remote (have a closer look) ............ this matters. Tear it down ..... 

Never heard the expression flipper either ever ..... apart from a bloody dolphin on a kids show when I was young.

Nope, it’s a remote. I’ve been an American for 71 years and I’ve never heard anyone here call it a flipper.

Flipper is something you find in Angeles City...

A remote is something you lose misplace in your video room on a regular basis.

A Flipper is a big button universal remote replacement.  The remote in the OP is NOT a Flipper.

I think I had the term stuck in my head from the 1980/90’s  when C4 in the UK used to air The Gary Shandling Show when before the break he’d say “ no flipping”. I stand corrected on an incorrect assumption

This is my old remote that came with my Samsung tv. They pretty much all look something like this.

And this is Samsungs newest remote that came with my brand new 65 inch tv.

A bit of a difference I'd say. I find it very easy to use.
