Marxism and its descendant Critical Theory and its family tree have had influence, but a lot of this just comes from liberalism. Once you adopt individual rights as the highest good, you lose the moral authority to say, "well not for those people" over time.

If we implemented a meritocracy, then only productive whites or east asians would be allowed in. If we just enforced rules about people not being a burden on society, none of it would be happening.
That still doesn't solve anything because a meritocracy doesn't stop another race/ethnic group from consolidating as much wealth and power as it can for itself and using that against us.
Prior to the 1960s, it was white immigrants.

I agree, but it isn't just individual rights, because liberalism/social democrats that are driving this are highly collectivist.
