It's because the protein called Casein. Has a lot of calcium and the protein helps to milk's color and all the cream that it's in the milk has white fat, the more cream in the milk, the more white the milk it's.

Due to presence of Calcium para-caseinate
and it is the major constituent of milk.
Beside this the colour of lactose, the milk sugar is also white.
but
your question is some what different?
why the milk of cow only why not buffalo or goat?
the basic milk composition is more or less similar in all.

Those chalky-white mustaches that color our lips after chugging down a refreshing ice-cold glass of creamy milk is caused by the protein called Casein.
Rich in calcium, Casein helps contribute to milk's white color.
In addition, the cream that is found in milk contains white colored fat. The more cream in milk the more white it is.
Low and non-fat milk appear more grayish rather than white because they contain less cream.
Another reason milk looks white to our naked eyes is because some objects do not absorb very much light. Rather than absorb light, these objects reflect light. For instance, red colored objects reflect only red light and absorb the other colors of light in the rainbow spectrum. The molecules that make up Casein and cream reflect light. That's why milk is white.

hi,
presence of calcium and casein makes cow-milk white.
moreover the cream present in cow milk contains white coloured
fat in it. it is another reason for cow milk's white colour. more cream means more white colour.
apart from the above reasons.....cow milk possesses some object that reflects light.so in naked eyes milk comes as white in normal light.

cow milk contains a protein called casein. this casein is white in colour. as casein remains dissolved in milk, so milk is white in colour. if casein is removed from milk ( as for example, by adding calcium lactate), the portion left behind is colourless.

Milk is white due to Casein and Calcium
When Casein and Calcium are burnt, Carbon (Black) is the residue

Milk is really white in col or, because of its constituents.
