Not really used in the UK, Scotland, or Ireland anymore. It is a worthless term rooted in junk science that should be abolished from general usage in the same way “negro” has.

Well, its meant to describe people who have a common gene pool which originated in a specific geographic area at a time when isolation was pretty much the norm among human populations. As far as I know that concept is still a good one no matter what names you give to the groups.
