Why does nobody understand that race is a genetic construct?

Depends on what you mean when you say "race".
You are clueless what constitutes Race. As is just about everyone else here.The point of the "social construct" verbiage is that the racial categories people use (black, white, and asian primarily) do not correspond very closely to the actual geographically structured patterns of human variation, and also (and more importantly) that the beliefs, stereotypes, and cultural values we ascribe to people of various racial groups don't correspond in any neat way to actual biological variation either.
The picture in the OP really isn't the evidence that DOTR thinks it is, for that reason. After all, it's not as if all white people are taller than all black people. You can find a picture of a single 6'6 white guy standing next to a bunch of 5' white women too. The picture is capturing a lot variation that is a result of sex differences, not racial differences, and cultural differences as well. All of that gets conflated with the idea of race.
That's why the anthropologist I cited above suggests this definition of race: "a culturally constructed label that crudely and imprecisely describes real variation."

Okay, so "experts" claim that race is a social construct. But one has to admit that human types differ because of where they have lived for thousands of years. People from the north who don't receive heavy sunlight tend to have light skin and hair while those who live in tropical areas with heavy sunlight have more melatonin to protect them from skin diseases.
It appears to me that those are biological differences caused by where they live.
