Kai: "Where does the 'ost' come from?"
Kai: "Ostrich?"
Rissa: "Yes."
Rissa: "It's the hatred of Blacks and large birds."

Or maybe flightless birds.

Since so many of them seem to be driven to extinction. People don't approve of birds with no ability to fly, so they're ostracised to the point of death.

I guess that leaves me a bit screwed, being named after a kiwi.
