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.

Probably more relevant to dealerships
Never thought about this before: Suppose I’m Black, respond to a Craigslist ad for a $10k car for sale by owner, and am refused for my skin color. What law do I or the state prosecute the seller under?
Most of the anti-discrimination laws I know of apply to companies, usually companies with more than N employees.
