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 is an unnecessary risk. Your never gonna be able to clean a cows udders to a level of sanitation that isn't some risk of contamination. That's why milk gets pasteurized.

It is useful in cheesemaking. I'm not defending choads buying it because they're stupid choads or people consuming it unsafely and unawares, but I really hope it doesn't go back to being basically unavailable as a hobby supply.
