Politically Correct

[londonscalling]

A friend has deleted another friend on Facebook because she's too politically correct.

Collins Dictionary's definition of "politically correct" is:

"If you say that someone is politically correct, you mean that they are extremely careful not to offend or upset any group of people in society who have a disadvantage or who have been treated differently because of their sex, race, or disability."

AIBU to think you can't be too politically correct? Would my friend prefer it if everyone went around being rude and insulting to others?

How on earth would we know what your friend might prefer, OP?
What exactly are you expecting in reply to your post?
And there is always the problem of two different disadvantaged groups whose demands clash and are mutually exclusive. However politically correct you might be, you cannot support both.

People who spend their lives banging on about the latest trendy issue and jump on every bandwagon going are just tedious and boring. Maybe that's why she deletes them.

Many people take being politically correct to the next level by seeing wrong and taking offence to anything anyone says though. I’m guessing you your deleted friend is one of those tedious people.

You must have come across over the top political correctness before?

Well you could be "too politically correct" by the dictionary definition given above. Suppose someone cut all contact with people of a different race/age/gender to them entirely for fear that they might inadvertently offend them?

You can be "too politically correct". Some people seem to enjoy policing everyone else's language, even to the extent of inventing new things to be offended by (where the supposed victim didn't actually mind). Walking on eggshells is tedious.

AIBU to think you can't be too politically correct? Would my friend prefer it if everyone went around being rude and insulting to others?
The former doesn't mean the latter has to apply.

Some people take too far and will analyze everything said and then accuse people of discrimination if they conclude the words were offensive even when not targeted at them.

I find such people tiresome. I'm not racist, sexist, homophobic and the rest, but I want to be able to speak freely without woreying how things will be interpreted amongst friends.

I'm very open to hike about myself and don't offended easily and I rather be around people who feel the same.

Maybe the second friend has gone beyond that definition of PC and is whirling down a 'purity spiral'?

Works both ways. I've just deleted an American friend who is pro gun, pro Trump and doesn't think African Americans face discrimination and injustice. Life is better without her opinions.
