Options:

A. Sexual orientation

B. Political orientation

C. Economic status

D. Culture

Political Orientation

Explanation:

Political orientation characterizes the way a group of people think. Asian "Chink in the Armor" has in the past been used to ridicule Asian American, therefore before the staff writer wrote the headline he should have considered the political orientation of the Americans towards the Asian Americans.
