We were taught as children to address adult women as Miss Ginger or Miss Scarlet. We did this at church and with our mother's friends. Depending on where I am now geographically or which group of friends I am with, this is still practiced. My family origins were Mississippi from the turn of the 19th century. I was born in the early 1960s. This really is not a race conotation. This is a Southern tradition. It may have originally come from how a servant was to address a person of gentry.
