How can contracts be anonymous?

3 times in just the past week I’ve witnessed sellers discriminate against buyers because of either race or sex. Humans simply can’t be trusted not to discriminate if given the chance. We’ve put laws in place to make discrimination illegal and have gotten rid of “love letters” already but when the name of the buyer is on the contract, it’s still too easy for sellers to discriminate, and too hard to enforce. How can we make contracts anonymous to limit this behavior?

I assume you are representing the buyer, so how do you know they did this. Did they tell you so, or are you guessing.

And if you are part of this, are you not breaking the law--meaning shouldn't you step down from the transaction involving these people?

Just wondering.
