Who are the Torres Strait Islanders? How are they treated in Australia? I noticed that Patty Mills' father is a Torres Strait Islander and if i didn't know better, I would have thought he was Black. His mother is an Aborigine. Here's information on the guy, for those that don't know: Patrick Mills - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
To be honest, other than having them appear on official forms as a seperate entity, and this story of survival, I know nothing of them other than what's in the wiki article.
