What do you mean 'those days'? In good old Norfolk (UK rather than Virginia) 
the expression 'boy' (often pronounced 'bor' ) is still used by countrymen to 
refer to any male irrespective of age or race. Female equivalent is 'gal'.

Musical content:- "Hev yew gotta loight bor" by Allan Smethirst, 'The Singing 
Postman'
