Dargis does seem perturbed about the "blond boy" and his blond friends on the raft. But they were 5 Norwegians and a Swede; and if you look at photos of the actual crew from the original "Kon Tiki" book, the actors resemble the real men closely. She seems more disturbed that she can't tell them apart once the beards set in; the "they all look alike to me" syndrome. (Which some people might interpret as racist; but let's not go there.)
One of her other dissatisfactions is Heyerdahl's alleged "abuse" of science - that he ignored "overwhelming" evidence that contradicted his theory that the Polynesian islands were settled from South America rather than Asia. It's true that the Kon Tiki trip instigated a storm of controversy in anthropological scholarship that still rages. However, recent studies have uncovered evidence - particularly in the DNA of modern Pacific Islanders - of ancestors who came from both the East and West. Heyerdahl wasn't trying to prove that the Pacific Island peoples didn't come from Asia; he wanted to show that it was technically possible for them to migrate from South America; which he did. Since it seems that the islanders' ancestors came from both directions (and why should this not be the case?), Dargis' argument is moot.
Plus, she apparently thought the movie was just boring. It sounds to me like she'd be happier going to see Star Trek.
