It's not a racial slur. It's a beatnik word drived from "cuckoo." It just describes nutty people as you intended.
Incidentally, I'm reading a books called KOOKS by Donna Kossy (that's where I got the origin of the word). She wrote it after years of collecting weird religious tracts and flyers people handed to her when she lived in San Francisco.
