A good, but much-maligned, white person.

Peckerwoods do not hijack airplanes. They don't expect society to take care of them. They never demand socialist medicine. No peckerwood ever prances in a parade wearing a jock strap.

Peckerwoods mind their own business and are not a burden on society. Be nice to peckerwoods. Take a peckerwood to lunch this week!
Hey, any of you peckerwoods want to go to lunch this week?

The closest translation would simply be white boy. This is originally a derogatory term for a caucasion person (usually male), but is not always offensive depending on context.
The rap game is gettin infiltrated by all these peckerwoods lately, but only a few of em will last.

In the motion picture "The Onion Field," starring James Woods and Franklyn Seales, the two actors play white-and-black convicts. At one point, Seales (as black Jimmy) says of Woods (as white Greg): "Lowdown, no-'count peckerwood."

Later in the film, black Jimmy gives white Greg as rousing blowjob.
"Fuckin' peckerwood, that white devil."
