Advice need in jobs apps

Posted in another community and received no help, so trying to get advice here! I live in America and according to the US Census, all Middle Eastern people are considered white (I'm Iranian). I do not look visibly “white” since my skin is darker. Whenever I apply to a job and it asks for my race, I select “white” because that's what I've assumed I am supposed to do based on how America defines whiteness, even though I have never identified as white. Would you think its acceptable I select “other” or “2 or more races” when I apply from now on, or would this be unethical/incorrect?
