Problem is that when they see "love they neighbor" they look around and only see straight white folks, so they assume everyone else is excluded for some reason

It was a racial clause from the beginning. -The word wasn't needed otherwise. -Same as the sexual clause 'neighbour's wife' instead of 'spouse'.

And context supports that:

'Think not that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets', 'Do not go among the Gentiles', 'I have come only for the lost sheep of Israel', 'it is not meet to take the children's bread and cast it to the dogs'.

I mean the Bible is pretty clear on this. In response to the question, "who is my neighbour," Jesus answered with the parable of the Good Samaritan. In Christianity, everyone is your neighbour.

In Judaism there was a lot of debate about it historically and I don't know where things stand now.
