That ignorant part was not to be taken seriously.
Many people don't know where Slovenia is, and if you wanna know about the ignorance, well...
THIS IS NOT A JOKE (although I laugh and cry at the same time thinking of it):
Upon my visit of the South-West Texas university I heard this conversation among the students:
"I'm from Pakistan."
"Where's that?"
"You haven't heard of it?"
"No. Where is it?"
"It's right next to India?"
"You full, India is one of the states. It's where Indians live!"
Fortunately I met enough normal people later on, but to think that a university student can be this ignorat!!!
