oomis1105- great comment ! I am not even sure whether the original poster is aware that “akum” is a shortened version of “Ovdei chochovim vemazolos” (the first letters, of course)
So, that term is not really applicable either. In case you doubt it, look into virtually every sefer that has ben printed in the past few hundred years, and you will see a disclaimer by the author that -when he mentions ‘akum”- he DOES NOT MEAN THE GENTILES OF TODAY.
actually , cholov akum’ and ‘cholov yisroel” as much as ‘cholov stam” are misnomers. There are basically two kinds of milk- the one you can drink, either because it is directly supervised or assume to be supervised (according to the poskim who allow it)and the one that you cannot assume is kosher.
