  @javiwhite@feddit.uk had it right, and also it’s specifically a derogatory term; the Oxford English Dictionary gives the definition “US English derogatory a contemptuous term for a white person, especially an impoverished white person living in the southern US. Also called poor white”

  I questioned it a few years back on reddit and was told it’s an old American saying for white people, and its apparently from the sound a whip makes rather than the biscuit.
