Ethnically ambiguous Corny Collins?

Hey all! One of my dream roles is Corny Collins in Hairspray, however I am half south east Asian and half White. I’ve been told I look ethnically ambiguous and I think most of that is to do with my straight black hair and my hooded eyes (NOT the epicanthic fold). I would absolutely love to play this role in the professional theatre scene one day, but I’m worried I’ll be denied the role due to my race, so my question to you is do you think I would ever be cast?
