Eh, in case you misunderstood the passage, "like bean sprouts" is not some kind of racist(-ish) metaphor: it's a common Korean expression to describe a place packed with people, like rush hour subways.

It will be interesting to see how the subject is white Protestants passing the virus at church and work. I doubt their religion will be framed as the problem. The religious aspect also obstructs the more interesting questions of privacy
