That has been my take, as a Northern white dude, at least. Possibly wrong, as always.
I think I would feel more offended if someone called me a ‘honky’ as I am not a fan of basic ass cookie cutter Honky Tonk country music, and I’d be insulted at such an insinuation.

I checked to see if I was wrong. But apparently, the most likely origin really is ‘whip cracker’, ie slaver.
