LOS ANGELES- About 100 members of a self-described neo-Nazi group protested against immigrants to the United States on Saturday, sparking a counter-rally that drew about 500 people.
The black-clad neo-Nazis were met by members of Hispanic, black and gay community groups who shouted "Racists Go Home" and "Stop the Nazis."

"It's just one group of racists protesting another group of racists," said one police officer.
Some of the counter protestors waved signs reading "Nazi scum."
Los Angeles is among the most diverse cities in the United States, with 44 percent of the population of Hispanic origin or descent. Most Americans nationwide are still of European descent but California has no majority ethnic group.
