So Virginia's Governor (He's a Democrat CNN) became blackface he (conveniently) said to win a Michael Jackson dance contest and Elizabeth Warren (Democrat) lied about being a Native American for jobs...which is the worst cultural appropriation and most hypocritical?

Warren apparently.

Took an AA slot that rightfully belonged to someone else.

I also voted for Pocahontas. To be fair, the Democrat Virginia Governor posing in blackface next to someone in a KKK outfit deserves consideration but that was most likely a prank and not serious as Warren stole a job from a real minority.

This easy. The Governor just used poor judgment doing something he thought was funny. Insensitive yes but no malice intended. Warren used it to give herself unearned advantages. Blond blue eyed and privileged and still wanting to ride the affirmative action gravy train. The woman has no ethical base.

For me it was ignorant stupidity vs taking from someone. Sort of like allegations of stolen valor.

People keep harping on the DNA tests and I keep screaming.

ELIZ WARREN'S ANCESTRY HAS BEEN TRACED. THERE ARE NO INDIANS AFTER 1820 OR SO. That is as far back as they went. NO INDIANS FOUND. NONE. I can only say about 1820 as that is as far as they traced her but they did trace her to BEFORE her ancestors were in Oklahoma.

No comparison. One is a college prank, the other a serial LIAR.

Agree but if Governor Blackface had been a Republican as Fake News CNN falsely claimed, then it would have been the worst thing done in history according to the Mainstream Media Fake News.

but high cheekbones

Must make the Nazis proud that a woman that looks like should be leading a 3rd Reich march took a minority job from a black or native American...is that not a form of White Privilege or did she actually tap into minority privilege?

What he did was in extremely poor taste - although I still stand by what I said: Back in the 80s, this wasn't even a discussion. Most people had never seen it or even heard about it. So if someone showed up that way, I don't think most people would have understood what it meant - the meaning behind "blackface" and why it's insulting.

He didn't gain anything from it. Pocahontas lied for years and definitely gained from her lies.
