So ... poor 3rd world country (which South Korea was at the time this happened, half a century ago) did poor 3rd world country things?
Wow, what a revelation.
At least a quick skim of the article didn't reveal "and here's how it was White Supremacist Colonialism's fault" -- though I admit it was just a skim so I may have missed it.
Katelyn Hemmeke, a 34-year-old editor of comics and graphic novels, was adopted as an infant and grew up in a “very rural, very White” part of Michigan. She didn’t know that her adoption records were falsified until she was 26 and living in South Korea on a Fulbright research grant. Then she discovered that she was taken without her birth parents’ consent.
Don’t worry, they still manage to shove in racism for… White Michiganders being so evil as to adopt, raise, and help succeed just to be castigated because they weren’t Koreans doing so by their adopted daughter.
I'm sure it's the same argument for blood diamonds. White people are so ambivalent and uncaring that when they want something they'll get it no matter how much it hurts non-white people.

Interracial adoption is one of the best indicators of the complete lack of racism among most whites.
No other race has anywhere near the same interracial adoption rate
I count that more as generic contempt for white people and not explicit blame, but yeah. "Racist cunt WaPo writer" is a highly redundant phrase.

Whites should adopt that mentality since all the other races do. There's no prize for being the chump left holding the bag.
