In Table 3, being white is a very significant predictor (p=0.007) of being able to wait at least 7 min, but in Table 7 they don't report white among the races at all. Does this mean the difference among white kids is entirely explained by SES and other covariants? Conversely, does this mean being black has an effect not explained by other covariants? That seems pretty controversial.

Controversial? There's a major effect in every context. It'd be hard to get less controversial.
