About 15 yrs ago while I was living at UCLA dorm, there was a woman also lived there at the time who told me the same thing, "Don't put down you're White" and she had proof that they used it against you. At the time I was not as informed as I am today and didn't pay much attention to the double standard. But whether anyone wants to agree or not, it is the truth and she proved it to me. Most people don't go to the lengths she went to to document it, especially 15 years ago when she did. But it is still happening today.
