I think people (like me) react because they feel it is dismissive of the harm done to non-POC people.
It is not "problematic because minorities are a subset of men".
It already was problematic for hurting men.
Your statement implies that it would not be a problem if it were just non POC being hurt.
To take a hyperbolic example, If someone shoots up a school, we don't say it is bad because there were children of color in it. It is bad whomever is hurt. It might also hurt POC, and it might especially hurt POC, but it was always bad.
