It didn't make it into that post, but I can tell you that, when we ran the numbers[0], the relationship between the races did in fact remain even when adjusted for income.

As suggested by one of the other comments in this thread, income does mitigate the effect somewhat (a black man who earns $100K+ was more appealing on average than a black man who earned <$20K), but the intercepts were still different (the effects of race were non-zero), even though the slopes were positive (income could counteract this).

There were a few surprising quirks that did come out when we teased income out, but I'd have to go back and check. Sorry I can't be more specific - this was over four years ago, and I don't have the data in front of me anymore!
