Pretty wide-spread.

Not where I'm from. Never heard it once.

Then again, maybe I just didn't have enough contact with xenophobes.

Wiktionary mentions "Predominantly in areas of the former British Occupation Zone", that might make a difference. Overall, definitely not a particularly obscure term though.

Anyway, it's rubbish as an insult in any case, more of a case of 'we need some kind of insult, but we can't think of a good one'.
