I heavily disagree with this,and I'll try to make my point. For example, discrimination is a theme that goes throughout the whole story, from the first page.
"Everyone is born unequal" was the first lesson that Deku learned. https://twitter.com/katsuki_lily/status/1386994342191976451

What I think should be done more in mangas is to explore themes in a multi-angle way, which is crucial to forming personal thoughts. From what I know not many authors do this.

Bakugou had an insane amount of pride and is super sensitive deep inside because that's how everyone views his value and he needs to live up to it.
As the story progresses we see different forms of discriminations with different individuals handle them differently. For example:
Shoji is afraid to show his face but he still works hard to be a hero <-> Spinner who was bullied from his appearance and become a shut in.

Discrimination also comes in mental form.

La Brava was not the heros nor the government, but Gentle Criminal. Kinda shows how lacking the hero society is.

Back to the main question, I can't fully get the picture of what "deep" means, cause it differences between people. What I can say is that what I truly appreciate is how Hori wrote discrimination.

Besides the first line, it was never directly brought up again, instead Hori showed us again and again in different forms, that discrimination is a serious issue that lies behind all those flashy heros. Also, Hori showed us that discrimination don't just create negativity+
It also brought up some positive things such as Bakugou striving for greatness, familiar bonds within the LOV etc.
It works just like real world, it affects every single individuals in different way and it's complicated. It's also so subtle that most people gets involved with it+

without knowing it, etc Bakugou's friend and teacher and the civilians.

made the ticking bomb explode post-war. Now people are literally trying to blast off random pedestrian's face on the street just because they look different.
How Hori tackled discrimination is a very slow but steady progression. It escalates everytime we sees it.

Discrimination may not be the core theme of the series (it branched from the theme "what is Heroism") but it's definitely the second main theme of it. And I believe that it's handled perfectly.
