Well, there is this section: https://zerocontradictions.net/faqs/race#academia. I mentioned that biologists are far less likely to deny race than anthropologists.
Blithering Genius also has an essay on why Academia can't be trusted with everything: https://thewaywardaxolotl.blogspot.com/2019/05/why-most-academic-research-is-fake.html. I also wrote a sequel to it: https://zerocontradictions.net/epistemology/academia-critique.
Beyond that, the reasons why academics don't believe in race are just tactical nihilism and bad faith. For example, I've debunked Lewontin's Fallacy here: https://zerocontradictions.net/faqs/race#lewontins-fallacy.
I've also addressed the problem with the genetic thresholds argument that you mentioned here: https://zerocontradictions.net/faqs/race#race-taxonomy
I know that the FAQs can and should be expanded, but I haven't had the time to think and write about some of the other more complex arguments out there.
Did you ever read AltHype's document on academia?
Whoops, the genetic thresholds argument is actually addressed here: https://zerocontradictions.net/faqs/race#taxa-classification
I did see it, but I only skimmed it. I thought the best part of it was when he talked about how Newton would not've made it through the modern academic system.

(I kept reorganizing and editing the page sections, which changed the URL fragments. I don't think there will be any more changes, since the writing has drastically improved.)
