There's a bit more to it in most contexts, including the stereotype of white women being more sexually lascivious than women of other colors. The term actually originated in 1847 in a Vanity Fair article, & throughout the years was used to refer to more provocative female characters, & was repopularized by Sir-Mix-A-Lot in 1992 (which is why a lot of people just think it means "a white girl").
The rapper Plies helped popularize the use of the term to refer to when a woman gives oral relations to a man in around 2009. Hence the phrases "getting Becky", "giving Becky", and similar.
White people mostly think it's a synonym for "basic" at this point, though. For example, Taylor Swift thinks she's a Becky because she likes Starbucks & Ugg boots, when actually she's a Becky because...nvm.
