Probably the most advanced indigenous American society, many of their technologies baffled the Spanish. They were a huge, centrally planned economy that somehow produced huge surplusses of everything, and had civil engineering projects on a scale Europe hasn't seen since the Roman Empire. They were also a brutal authoritarian regime with a pants on head retarded leadership structure where there were no clear rules of succession, and dead emperors were treated like they were still alive and their mummies "gave orders" through priest "interpreters." Naturally there was massive civil war fairly often.

Excelent administrators, not so good warriors. Thrived without horses or relevant animal power. Also didnt use any form of writing (except quipus made for accountancy and ponchos with symbolic/categorizing markings).

Most of their riches came from huge taxes in goods. They also transferred whole populations from one place to the other dor the sake of colonizing or exploiting (while removing manpower from possible rebellions which happenes once in a while).

Dont fall for the "hurr durr it was in civil war so it had retarded succesion" meme, there were two branches of the same royal family with one sucessor (atahualpa the one in Tumbes) being probably a cheeky son of a secondary wife. Incas were closer to the greek classical world order of things than to the medieval feudal one (think the conflicts that came between sons of different waifus)

Only as fringe looney cases like in any country. (Ie. Im a proud 1/73th Sioux down to the invaders). The people who are more serious about this ("racial supremacy") though live for the most part in the southern cone. People worship white skin and your chances of success increase dramatically the more europoid you look.

Funny thing is that the more "primitive" inland villages in peru and bolivia see scholarship as a thing or even intrinsic magic ability for white people (from the lack of writing tradition) very much like the american form "if yo succesful yo actin white"
