Sorry, I don't see it. The article below states merit based will be more beneficial to Chinese and Indians ... in the context of national origin, not race.
“Merit-Based” Immigration: Trump Proposal Would Dramatically Revamp Immigrant Selection Criteria, But with Modest Effects on Numbers | migrationpolicy.org

If the Trump proposal were to become law, it could make significant changes to immigrant flows in some respects and minimal changes in others. Examined through the lens of national origins, the points system seems likely to favor Indian and Chinese immigrants, who dominate employment-based immigration channels even now. For these two immigrant groups, proposed cuts to arrivals through family-sponsored categories could potentially be offset by increases in those granted admission through the employment stream.

The argument that Trump & Kushner wants to "limit or eliminate" non-white (or based on race) immigration is contradicted by above.
A better argument IMO is they want to "limit or eliminate" the number of less educated, less wealthy, non-immediate family members. I think this is valid.
