Johnson and Desmond & Emirbayer, spoke about the concepts of race and privilege. They both touched upon the history of the each and how they developed into what they are now in society. The path of least resistance, mentioned by Johnson, is seen in the example of how the attempts of having the indentured whites become permanent slaves failed and was therefore taken another route in where African people were then taken in as slaves (2014:151). The reason for it being the path of least resistance is because the indentured whites knew their rights and therefore they were not going to allow themselves to be taken as slaves (2014:151). However, the African’s had “no rights” and therefore were an easier target.
