ELI5: Race is a social construct.

Hello,

After doing a comparative osteology unit and seeing the skeletal differences between different races, I am failing to understand how people believe race is purely a social construct. Can someone explain it to me? 

P.S. I do not believe any race is superior to another, I'm genuinely curious about this question.

Race really came from that time in history we were really wanted everything to fit into nice taxonomic groups. But the groups we choose are pretty damn arbitrary, even to this day. What does it mean to be white? European? How close are Italians to Finnish to Romanians to Spanish? What about Asian? Asian including everyone from China and India and Indonesia and the Phillipines. What about people from the Middle east? Are Syrians and Egyptians and Jordanians middle eastern or black? Hell, even go south of the US and what it means to be white and black vary by a  crazy amount. Which is why you see stuff like Non Hispanic, white on forms.
