You will see this often in old bathrooms. Using the white wire to break the circuit and switch the light on or off. It is dangerious because an unsespecting homeowner shuts off the light switch and touches the wires in the ceiling  and gets a shock because the switch does not break the black wire and leaves the wires in the light energized.
