> What law do I or the state prosecute the seller under?

Start your research with Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.




https://www.eeoc.gov/statutes/title-vii-civil-rights-act-196... - looks like this is all about employment, and even then only applies to those employing more than N employees:

> The term "employer" means a person engaged in an industry affecting commerce who has fifteen or more employees [...]

I suppose the root of my question is this: Where is the law stating that an individual cannot act with prejudice against another individual, outside of an employment context? I've always assumed such a law exists, but never asked exactly where it is.
