I’m pretty sure that using the term “Semite” in any other context than the modern interpretation of “antisemitic”, meaining prejudice against Jews, stopped being a thing roughly around the same time that we stopped treating the bible as an authority on the classification of human races. Same with Hamites and Japhetites.

“Semitic languages” are a language family that includes Hebrew, Arabic, Aramaic, and Amharic.

However the notion of a “Semitic race” is pseudoscience.
