Is it okay to view myself as being from one race even though im mixed race?

Okay so I'm mixed race white/ south Asian (like an Indian basically)

And people say I either look just white or something like Arabic but not Asian...

And I hate people telling me 'Youre not part Asian or Asian' who are they to tell me what I am lol the arrogance...

I'm thinking maybe I should just say I'm white and I won't get any of that judgement anymore and live a happier life...

Is it wrong though to deny one side of me just because I apparently don't look like I'm from that race?
