I run RP 5w30 and mine does that too while idling. After a practice, heat or race session it looks like new...even when I change the oil (after every race) I do some of the purplish foam in the puke can. I just try not to let mine idle a whole lot until I'm in the chute getting ready to go out.
Not sure if it is right or not....but not having any issues... all the other oils I have tried look like milk when I change it after the race. Which is why I tried RP in the first place.

One of the things you can use out of the rules pamphlet is the warm up procedure to keep the milkiness from happening. Turn the idle screws in to 1.5turns out. Block the shroud with a piece of cardboard and start the motor. Having the idle screws in will lean the motor out and you should notice a higher idle... if not make the motor idle around 1700rpm. You should be able to build heat to about 170-200 degrees using this method which is fine. Also make sure that your breather can is always cracked open. The condensation is lighter than the oil and should float upward and into the valve cover vents when under pressure (like Cam95 said it goes away when raced). But don't race if the oil already looks like a milkshake.
Also don't rev the motor excessively when warming it up. Its not a car show. A few short stabs of the throttle is all that's needed to build heat. Unless you'd like a convenient inspection window in your engine block of course.
