Hmmmm ...I wonder what this old fool will die from? Choking on a McBurger, or a blast of second hand cigar smoke?
Nah ... It'll probably be a garden hose, attached to his running auto's exhaust pipe.
He's going to have a little bit of a problem with Michigan's Elliot-Larsen Civil Rights Act...
The opportunity to obtain employment, housing and other real estate, and the full and equal utilization of public accommodations, public service, and educational facilities without discrimination because of religion, race, color, national origin, age, sex, height, weight, familial status, or marital status as prohibited by this act, is recognized and declared to be a civil right.
Sec. 202.(1) An employer shall not do any of the following:
(a) Fail or refuse to hire or recruit, discharge, or otherwise discriminate against an individual with respect to employment, compensation, or a term, condition, or privilege of employment, because of religion, race, color, national origin, age, sex, height, weight, or marital status.
