Can Asian Applicant Use DNA Results to Declare Mixed-Race Ethnicity?

Question: I am a high school freshman. I recently got my DNA tested and I found that I am 2% white, 2% black, and 96% Asian. I heard that Asians are at a disadvantage compared to other races, so I was wondering: Should I put mixed race? Should I put African American? or Should I put White? on my college application under ethnicity.
