Half-Asian, half northern-European here... no problems whatsoever.
Funny thing is, when I'm in Thailand, it's damn near impossible to find fresh milk and/or dairy products. The only place I could find any cheese at all was Pizza Hut. I don't know if it's intolerance, or just the fact that the only bovines they have are water buffalos... but dairy is just not on offer there.
On the other hand, in Iceland, there is WAYYY too much dairy stuff available... every grocer's cold case is chock full of various types of milks, yogurts, puddings, skyr (Icelandic stuff), ţykkmjólk (more Icelandic stuff), etc... and I happily gorge myself on all of it.
No milk-related health problems to speak of.
