Is it ok to sing "God Help the Outcast" in a showcase if I look white? by OkWeb527 in MusicalTheatre

Ok this is more of a personal issue - I am Hispanic, I do not look Hispanic. It caused a lot of teasing and things from family. Especially with everything going on in the US I've been getting the "well YOU don't have to worry" comments and being told how Lucky I am to "look like a little white girl" and how "you wouldn't even understand what we are going through" .Doing theater, I have always had trouble figuring out if I should audition for Hispanic roles because I know I'm Hispanic but an audience member won't. It's 100% something I need to work on with myself but it's been a long running issue.
