This is a question Winging It

Don Spang says: I once found myself winging it in a job interview and somewhat exaggerated my technical experience in the field of mainframe computer operations. 24 years later, I'm still there. Ever had to improvise to get by? Tell us you tales of MacGyver-type genius.

There is no shame or insult to refer to someone as Aboriginal. Don't be so sensitive. In this case, it is a point of difference for good reason;

Just as "Bush Tucker" program's highlight how Aboriginal people have a great knowledge of natural food sources, "Bush Mechanics" is about the resourcefulness of Aboriginal people living in remote communities. I've visited a few communities, (with my part Aboriginal survey assistant, who refers to himself as "Aboriginal"), and this show is not too far from the truth.

or, maybe you are confusing "Aboriginal" with the far more derogatory "Abo"? not the same. "Abo" is an intentional slur.

Just click "that shit" and have a look. It's clever, funny and well thought out, and, yes, made by an Aboriginal film company. (Ooh, there's that nasty name again).

I love it. The blokes look like they had a ball making it.
