Do all Scottish youths use the same slang that is used in Scotland, regardless of their ethnic or cultural persuasion?

We don't have many black (i.e. negroid) people in Scotland. More South Asian.

They don't use the slang that other Scottish youths use?

Do the black kids use the same Scottish slang that the white ones use?

Here's a couple of examples (I'm having trouble thinking of specifically Scottish ones) -
Jambos - Jam Tarts - Hearts - Heart of Midlothian FC
Wine and Grape - Pape - Papist

I know a joke that uses rhyming slang...

What`s the difference between Bing Crosby and Walt Disney?

I was in Edinburgh, which is, I'm pretty certain, one of the most cosmopolitan places in Scotland, and I don't think I saw a single black person. Asians yes, but blacks no.
