Answer:

The lawyer cannot file a lawsuit under the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 is still relevant today in the USA and was a milestone in the fight for civil rights in American society. Although it is extremely relevant, this law does not apply to the case that was shown in the question above.

This is because this law is related to the prohibition of racial segregation related to skin color and not nationality. In this case, a lawsuit that wishes to use this law as a basis must present a situation of segregation and racism against blacks and not against foreigners, as is the case with Jack.
