Hi I'd say that, in a country with a deeply rooted history of discrimination, some of the population may still have deeply held discriminatory beliefs The history of the country are it's roots; some of the notions that are part of that history may be deeply rooted. 'Deeply held' seems to me to refer to how strongly people wish to assert those notions in the present day. It may be that, despite the history, the beliefs are not deeply held - or maybe not held at all Dave
