There are a lot of people who can't handle the lactose in milk. Black people are more likely to have that genetic predisposition, but they aren't the only ones.

Some can't. There is a thing called lactose intolerance which is a common condition caused by a decreased ability to digest lactose, a sugar found in dairy products. It can cause abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, gas, and nausea. The tolerance for lactose varies enormously worldwide, with the highest prevalence in Northwestern Europe, declines across southern Europe and the Middle East and is low in Asia and most of Africa, although it is common in pastoralist populations from Africa

Some (perhaps most) people from the Indian subcontinent are lactose intolerant. This probably applies to a lot of other places too.
