The main argument of the passage is that Abercrombie and Fitch has learned how to sell white privilege by manufacturing a "look." The author discusses how the company's ads and marketing strategies perpetuate a particular image of what is considered attractive or desirable, which is often limited to a narrow definition of whiteness and conformity to Western beauty standards. The author argues that this is a way in which the company perpetuates white privilege and maintains a sense of exclusivity.
