Racial questions on applications are, IME, always optional. So you can leave it blank.

However, if you lie on an admissions application, you’re compromising your career before you’ve even started college. If you’re found out before you’re admitted, kiss your chances of going to that college goodbye, probably forever. If you’re found out after you’re admitted, you could be subject to anything from a retroactive loss of financial aid to expulsion for fraud. That’s not going to look very good on your transcript.

Universities these days take academic integrity very seriously.
