For some reason, "Light themes" comes before the "Dark themes" list while searching for, in the settings search dialog. I find this very offensive. Not only Dark Themes section is separated with a disgusting, racist line from the Light Themes, but (of course!), Light Themes come before the Dark Ones.
We should ask a serious question, why, in such an inclusive and compassionate environment which we try to create in the Community, there is still space for such disgusting practice, reminding me of the darkest times of human history? I, on behalf of all who have been offended and have no courage to oppose such an outrageous example of Light Theme Supremacy, demand that themes should be listed according to alphabetical order, rather than to ones distorted and repelling personal beliefs.

Solution idea:
In the listing, themes should be sorted either alphabetically or randomly, and color scheme should be no factor.

*off-topic themes under-discussion

Ordering them alphabetically might open another whole can of worms. Am I less of a human just because my surname starts with Z? Should people whose names start with B be given that much power over the largely oppressed R people?

I say we shuffle them every time to prevent initial-shaming of differently-named people.

My vote goes for alphabetically.

Racism in a code editor. Disgusting. Unacceptable.
