As the jaw growth issue has a strong genetic component if you had early signs of it, I'd treat it as an Asian rather than Caucasian. This would delay the beginning of your treatment, perhaps by 2-3 years. Its a better safe than sorry type of treatment as while if you didn't have the growth pattern, I've just delayed your treatment, if you did and I started too early I'd have prolonged it which is worse.
But you are correct in that racial differences are less of a predictor in mixed races, but that does not diminish the value of understanding the racial differences, as the majority of people tend to have little mixing.
