Original Note:
‘Semite’ refers to people who speak Semitic languages, not a currently existing racial or ethnic group. The use of the word ‘Semite’ to refer to Near Eastern peoples was popularized by the eugenics movement and is otherwise nonsensical. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semitic_people https://www.britannica.com/topic/Semite
