Someone told me I could identify solely as Hispanic

As opposed to…?

Hispanic is an ethnicity, not a race. So if you identify as Hispanic, you could answer the questions on the Common App as follows:

Are you Hispanic or Latino?
Yes

Which best describes your background?
Central America

Regardless of your answer to the prior question, please indicate how you identify yourself. (Select one or more)
White

Which best describes your White background?
Europe

Of course, that is just an example, and you can choose to answer all/some/none of them.
