Whether appropriate or not it seems you have to use the word “diverse “ or you can’t get a paper published in academa.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

If so, then one may conclude that for the Incas, Diversity was not their strength.

Yah. Why enslave your near neighbors when you can attack a farther away neighbor and bring back them as slaves?

This was done since we came down out of the trees, fer Chissakes!

"otherwise known as slaves"

That is the first thing that occurred to me, but since the Incas have been so idealized by the modern left, that possibility will probably not be considered. And how much of a revelation is it that the royal family would have had "workers and attendants"?

[EEGator]

If I read that headline, I know not to go there.

[Texan5]

In plain and honest words-those workers were servants at best, slaves at worst-captives taken when their settlements/cities were conquered by the Inca-doesn’t sound as nice-but it is far more likely...

[Wuli]

slaves?

[Savage Beast]

Any Carthaginians?

Ack, I’ll pass on the hike.

[bgill]

Every group, race, creed or just because they didn’t run fast enough was enslaved at some point in history.

[Honest Nigerian]

Good catch!!
It was obvious how they had so carefully parsed the sentences to as to avoid the “S” word.
“S” word! OMG!

not possible....only evil whites were slavers. Pre-Columbian Indians were totally peaaceful, noble savages. They never did nuffin wrong.
