I personally don’t like calling myself Wasain even though supposedly that’s the correct term

So my mother is Chinese and my father is half Sicilian and half Eastern European Jew but my dad never liked calling himself white due to his side of the family having discrimination in the USA. I know Chinese people aren't counted as white and I never liked calling myself half white and half Asain. It is wrong that I don't like to identify myself as Wasain even though many probably think I am.
