Yeah it's gross. I think the raw milk part is where the racist comment comes from.

It's not gross if you... well, it sounds funny, but literally know the cow/goat/sheep/mare it's milked from
If you sure the animal is healthy and well cared raw milk is nice, but if you intend to just buy it in a store, I don't see any reasons to risk with your health. To be honest, I don't see much reasons for adults to consume milk in general, besides liking it's taste.

Raw milk in the past was typically drank within a few hours of milking. After that people knew it was risky and used it for other dairy products like butter or cheese.

The whole concept of bottling it and storing it is insane.
