Slang term for a white man, originating, according to a comment in the book "Beneath the underdog" by Charles Mingus, (not verbatim) "A white man looking for a prostitute in early 20th Century Harlem who, because he didn't want to get out of his car to call a girl, he just honked to get the girls attention" I think this is the most plausible definition.
"You hear that honky over there? He wants you, baby"
Originally "hunkie," a variation on "bohunk," a derogatory term for Eastern-European factory hands and mostly used in midwestern cities. Became corrupted to "honky"(factory hand) in the late 20s-early 30s(see Mezz Mezzrow's REALLY THE BLUES). By the late fifties came to mean blue collar whites and by the sixties white people in general.
