Holy cow. Now even milk is racist.

The bipartisan push to put whole milk back on school menus is rife with secret racial meaning and smacks of bigoted messages, a lefty-lipped college professor whined.

Arthur Caplan, who teaches bioethics at New York University, slammed the feds’ latest legislation — The Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act, which President Trump signed on Jan. 14 — claiming whole milk has become a symbol for white supremacists.

“Nazis were enamored of whole milk as well,” he wrote in a Bioethics Today blog.

“I am suspicious. Milk drinking is political. Drinking whole white milk has played a big role in racist and far-right thinking. In America, drinking whole milk has for years been a part of alt-right, white nationalist messaging in tweets, memes, and videos.”

Caplan’s efforts to take the left’s battle against American traditions into the dairy aisle was quickly stomped under the hooves of some serious bovine backlash.

“Our government is taking bold steps to strengthen school nutrition, including the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act, which would bring whole milk back to school cafeterias,” a US Department of Agriculture spokesperson told The Post.

“To suggest otherwise is completely false.”

Still, Caplan beefed that the ability to guzzle whole milk has become a sign of strength and genetic health and used to mock non-whites.

“Images of white people chugging milk are popular on racist sites, e.g., ‘If you can’t drink milk, you have to go back,'” he wrote in his Bioethics Today tirade.

Udder nonsense, blasted fellow bioethicist Wesley J. Smith.

“One of the honored guests at the Oval Office signing ceremony of the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act — mentioned in passing by Caplan, which put whole milk back on school menus — was that notorious white supremacist Dr. Ben Carson,” he sarcastically wrote in an article for National Review.

“One of the early sponsors was Senator John Fetterman, a famous KKK sympathizer.”

“Seriously, this is idiotic,” added Smith. “Sometimes whole milk is just whole milk.”
