Get the Honky gookmug. So many attempts of defining, and so many diverse results AND subjective opinions, which is not what we are looking for when seeking a definition, so let's have a base on the "actual" dictionary that defines it as:
"Ethnic slur for a white person."
For what's about its origin, the word is derivated from the word "hunky" that a pejorative slur to refer to East European migrants, most of them being from the working-class, this term was used to stigmatise them as a group, so a mix or racism and xenophobia. It eventually became the word "honky" to refer to white people in general in the afro-american language.
Now, how offensive is it? Cause yeah all insults aren't equivalent — and I wouldn't recommand to say it out loud in the street to verify. According to the dictionary again, this is a "double red exclamation mark" slur, to give an idea, the dictionary uses three levels:
Single orange exclamation mark — Single red exclamation mark — Double red exclamation mark.
"Ethnic slur for a white person."

“Yeehaw partner you coming down to the Honky Tonk with us to pick up some beer and cowgirls?”
“Hell yeah brother just gotta finish my hourly pledge of allegiance, pray to God for more beer, and load up my Ford F150 with a thousand more guns”
