The client salt would need to be consistent and “public” since the client needs it before login. It’s basically useless.

I wouldn’t send the salt to the client. Have it hash the password, then the server hashes that with the salt for comparison and storage.
But that would mean you can’t verify the password complexity server side, which can be bad for certain accounts.

The point is to whitewash America’s racism, it’s okay because the Europeans also are a bit racist. Don’t try to compare how similar or different it is, that would destroy their take.
